Lee, Suhyeon & Suh, Soo-Jung, 2022, Whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) intercepted on plant product imported to South Korea from 2013 - 2021, Insecta Mundi 2022 (947), pp. 1-17 : 4

3. Aleurocanthus woglumi Ashby ( Fig. 4–5 )

Diagnosis. Puparium black. Puparial margin covered with wax secretion. Margin toothed; about 3.5–5 teeth per 0.1mm of margin ( Martin 1987). Dorsal disc spines acute; submargin usually with 11 pairs of stout spines in a row with cephalothoracic and caudal pairs alternately longer than adjacent ones.

Korean quarantine notes. Although this whitefly was described from Jamaica (Neotropical region), it is probably native to southeast Asia where effective natural enemies have been found. It is nearly worldwide in distribution and was intercepted five times; Myanmar on Citrus medica (Rutaceae) ; Thailand on Citrus aurantifolia (Rutaceae) . It is not known to occur in South Korea ( Lee 2019).
