Description Puparium:Typically, asymmetrical (Fig. 7a) and banana-shaped, although some specimens are more symmetrical (Fig. 7b) and elongate-oval (2.37–4.25 mm long for both shapes). 9 pairs of lateral rays running mesad from the puparial margin. 3–4 sets of large, subequal compound pores (Fig. 7f) on the sub-mesial plane of the dorsum: 1 cephalothoracic pore, and 2–3 pores on abdominal segments III, IV, and occasionally V, all on the more well-developed side. These are, however, sometimes paired on more symmetrical specimens. One pair of much smaller compound pores (Fig. 7d), on the boundary of abdominal segments VII & VIII, posterior to the VO, on the distal end of the 9th pair of lateral rays. Puparial margin is planar, but with submarginal folds producing a crenulated submarginal layer with well-defined teeth, and an additional layer of folds of less well-defined teeth, appearing as collars for the dentate folds (Fig. 7c). The submarginal folds are further divided into combs at the end of all pairs of rays, except for the anterior- and posterior-most pairs (Fig. 7c). The margin at the apex of the posterior-most pair of rays is distinctly indented (Fig. 7d). VO (Fig. 7e) is elongate rounded-deltoid,and approximately1.5 times longer than wide; operculum is rectangularovoid; lingula is inserted and elongate rounded-trullate. On the lingula are two pairs of subapical setae. Adults. Undescribed. One dissected adult female is present in the NHMUK collection, but it is in poor condition. Until more specimens of higher quality, and of both males and females are available, then it would be prudent to wait in making a definite description., Published as part of Canty, Roy J., Martini, Biancamaria & Wanke, Dominic, 2023, Three new species of Neotropical Ceraleurodicus Hempel (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) found in the Natural History Museum (London) collection, with notes and a puparial key to species, pp. 313-338 in Zootaxa 5277 (2) on page 326, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5277.2.4, http://zenodo.org/record/7889885, {"references":["Martin, J.
