Lee, deposited at the USNHM (slide# apnny110494909001a) . Paratypes: 2 puparia (2 slides) intercepted on Citrus sp. (from Ecuador in passenger baggage at Jamaica, New York Port of entry), on 18-ii-2011, K. Lee, deposited at the USNHM (slide# apnny110494909001b and apnny110494909001c).

Comments. This is the only Bakerius species known to occur on Citrus sp. Since these specimens were intercepted in quarantine at JFK International Airport arriving in passenger baggage from Honduras, the true origin of the species is uncertain.
