Fraxinus sp. (Oleaceae) . Recent collections from Fraxinus sp. , from Mexico, were also available.

This is a large species, with a long lingula and a small thickening of the crenulations at the thoracic stigmatic furrows. Otherwise it is typical of other species in the afer group, except that in the adults the wings have a dark banding pattern. Also unusual is the elongation of the 8 th abdominal setae during the time prior to the emergence of the adults, as the empty puparia have the setae nearly as long as the body, and the stylets remain attached to the mouthparts and extend forward almost to the anterior body margin. group. The specimen was parasitized, and enlarged dorsal setae have been broken off. It also shows thickened marginal crenulations at the thoracic tracheal furrows. suture is weak, but indicates a circular rather than “T”-shaped form. It has thickened crenulations at the tracheal fold ends. complex. The major morphological characteristic of this group is the circular transverse molting suture, which curves anteriorly to meet the suture from the opposite side, with the longitudinal suture not reaching the anterior margin of the puparium. David and Dubey (2009) synonymized this genus with Bemisia .

place it in the asterobemisia group.
