Dooley, John W. & Smith-Pardo, Allan, 2016, Five new species of Bakerius Bondar (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae: Aleurodicinae) from the Americas and Vietnam, Insecta Mundi 2016 (518), pp. 1-59 : 18-24

Host. Mikania amara (Vahl) Willd. (Asteraceae) .

Material examined. No specimens or illustrations available.

Comments. This species was cited in Hempel (1938) as having two rows of fully developed marginal teeth. All other pale species with one row of fully developed teeth (translation from Hempel 1938).

Similar to B. marmoratus Hempel 1938 that also has two rows of teeth but differs from B. glandulosus by being “dark” in the center ( Bondar 1938).
