5-6, and 6-7. Segment 1 subrectangular with 2 
paramedian processes close together. Segments 
2- 5 each with 2 paramedian nearly contiguous 
pores. Laterad of the boundary of the median 
ridge are 4 short spines opposite sutures 2-3, 
3- 4, 4-5, and 5-6, a similar one at mid-length 
on 7, and 1 laterad of orifice on 8. The 8th ab- 
dominal seta is not discernible. Caudal seta bases 
as wide apart as spines on 8th segment. Vasiform 
orifice subcordate (Fig. Ad) . Operculum fills 
orifice. Lingula not discernible. 
HOLOTYPE: Pupal case on slide mount. De- 
posited in Institut Frangais d’Oceanie, Noumea, 
New Caledonia. 
PARATYPES: In author’s collection. 
TYPE locality: New Caledonia, Dothio, 
coll. F. Cohic. 
FOOD PLANT: An undetermined climbing 
plant. 
This species is very similar in facies to A. 
brevispinosus and shows affinities with Aleuro- 
trachelus Q. & B. The moulted skins of 2 larval 
instars are usually adhering to the dorsum of 
the pupal case.

Bemisia cordylinidis sp. n. 
Fig. 5 ctr-c 
LARVA. Third instar (Fig. 5 a): Length 0.7 
mm., width 0.42 mm. Resembles pupal case but 
anal furrow less developed and caudal setae long 
and stout. 
PUPAL CASE (Fig. 5 b, c): Length 1.15 mm., 
width 0.80 mm. Colour transparent or white. 
Shape elliptical, flat. No constriction across 
thoracic pores, little or no caudal invagination. 
Margin finely crenulate. Submargin not sepa- 
rated from dorsal disc. Anterior and posterior 
marginal setae present. Area between submargin 
and tubercles with dense hemispherical pustules 
in radial arrangement, each row tending to con- 
sist of tubercules 2 deep. Cephalic area with 2 
pairs of minute paramedian setae. Thoracic area 
with tracheal folds, pores, combs, and clefts ab- 
sent; 3 pairs of tuberculate warts nearly midway 
between median line and margin. Abdomen, first 
segment with 1 pair of minute, widely spaced 
setae. Segments 1-5 with a median tuberculate 
wart, less developed on segments 1, 4, and 5. A
