Bemisia

Gill, Raymond, 2012, A preliminary report on the World species of Bemisia Quaintance and Baker and its congeners (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) with a comparative analysis of morphological variation and its role in the recognition of species Raymond Gill, Insecta Mundi 2012 (219), pp. 1-99 : 11

Bemisia . Marginal pore/porettes are non-adjacent. The adult eye is connected by four or more ommatidia and the greatly elongated apical segment of the male antenna has an unusual appressed sensorium that extends the length of the segment. Molecular mtCO1 data varies a bit depending on which species are included in the phylogenetic trees, but see Gill and Brown (2010, figs. 1.3 and 1.4,

ref. BGIF).

complexes. Similar to B. afer , it has two pairs of pore/porettes on the first abdominal segment and pore/porette combinations aligned with the porette closer to the body margin. Similar to B. tabaci , it has an ovoid body shape that tapers to a narrower posterior end, adjacent pore/porette pairs and setal arrangements similar to B. tabaci . The enlarged setae are supported by long tubercular bases that are much longer than those that sometimes occur in B. tabaci . mtCO1 analysis (Brown, 2010). It aligns in the trees with New World species in the afer complex.

BCENTROAM).

pore/porettes on the first abdominal segment, adjacent pore/porette combinations with the combinations not having any specific alignment with the body margin, and long caudal setae. The longitudinal molting suture does not reach the anterior margin, but the transverse suture does not appear to curve anteriorly. It does not appear to have any afer complex characteristics. Based on mtCO1

molecular data, it aligns between the tabaci and afer complexes. For molecular mtCO1 tree placement see Gill and Brown (2010, fig. 1.3, ref. NZEAL1 and NZEAL2). It has dorsal white wax secretions similar to species formerly placed in Lipaleyrodes , but the wax is produced along raised rugosities at the edges of the dorsal disc and along the median line, rather than along the submargin as in
