Bemisia afer sens lat. form G
( Figures 22, 62, 66, 70)
PUPARIUM. Habitus. The immature stages occur scattered on lower surfaces of leaves of host plants, without visible waxy secretions ( Fig. 62). Cuticle pale. Margin. Outline ovoid, generally widest at metathorax. Margin undulate with thoracic tracheal openings not marked but puparial outline deeply emarginated because of leaf hairs. The dorsal protuberances appear star-like on slide mounted specimens ( Fig. 22), but often with very elongated fingerlike extensions of varying lengths visible on living and unprocessed specimens ( Figs 66, 70), which apparently are wax extensions emanating from shorter tubercles. Submarginal area with small dome-like protuberances similar to those seen in form E. Chaetotaxy. With eight pairs of abdominal and four pairs of cephalothoracic setae, including the nominal cephalic, first-abdominal, eighth-abdominal and caudal pairs, of varying lengths but all stout and clearly visible. [There may be a few additional minute cephalothoracic setae present but extremely difficult to resolve.]
