Hemiptera whiteflies pests Paraleyrodes perseae redefinition invasive potential lectotype

Abstract

Paraleyrodes perseae (Quaintance) is redefined, with both puparial and male identification characters illustrated, in order to overcome confusion caused by conflicting earlier accounts of this species. A lectotype is designated. The pest potential of this species is briefly discussed, in relation to invasive populations of other Paraleyrodes species.
