Bemisia afer sens lat. form C
( Figures 19, 20, 59, 64, 69)
PUPARIUM. Habitus. The immature stages occur scattered under leaves of host plants, amongst the leaf hairs ( Fig. 59), without visible waxy secretions. Cuticle pale. Margin. Outline ovoid, 0.72mm long, 0.49mm wide, generally widest at metathorax. Margin undulate, with thoracic tracheal openings not marked, and deeply and irregularly emarginated because of leaf hairs. Most specimens somewhat elongated as compared to afer sens . lat., probably due to the many closely arranged leaf hairs of the host. This form is characterized by elongated dorsal setae and protuberances composed of multiple lobulate tubercles along the midline and the subdorsal arc ( Figs 64, 69). Specimens from Cistus tend to have fewer and smaller protuberances than those specimens from Echium ( Fig. 64). Chaetotaxy. Variable, with nine pairs of abdominal and from six to nine cephalothoracic pairs, most hair-like and very long (0.1mm).
