The species
Aleyrodes rosae
Korobitsin
is also considered a synonym by Huldén (1986). It resembles some
Aleyrodes
species
, but the 7
th
abdominal segment is narrower than the other segments. It resembles
tabaci
in having one pair of pore/porette combinations on the 1
st
abdominal segment and long caudal setae, but differs in having a full complement of 14 well developed submarginal setae, a more rounded versus oval body shape, and a paucity of pore/porette groups in the area between the submargin and the edges of the dorsal disc. It does not show any
B. afer
characteristics. It may belong in the tabaci complex of species. Bink-Moenen (1991) discussed the morphological details of the species, and noted that the compound eyes have a two-ommatidium connection. two species in the genus
