New Zealand Aleyrodidae — DUMBLETON 
food plant: Winter a color ata. 
material: Several specimens found in asso- 
ciation with fodiens on Wintera axillaris in 
Masked unmounted duplicate material col- 
lected by R. Raithby in Reefton. 
This species is not a typical Aleyrodes ac- 
cording to Takahashi. It is evidently closely 
related to fodiens. The pupal cases are thicker 
and more raised than those of fodiens. Both 
species make shallow pits on the leaf.

(Fig. 25^) crenulated, 20-26 crenulations in 
0.1 mm. Thoracic and abdominal tracheal 
folds, pores and combs absent. Submargin 
defined by submarginal line. Mesad of the 
submarginal line are faint radial depressed 
lines with between them radial rows of 7 or 
8 tubercles of which the one nearest the mar- 
gin is often larger. Segmentation as in figure. 
Thoracic area and abdominal segments 2-6

pair first abdominal, one pair 8th abdominal 
and one pair caudal 0.035 mm. long. Vasiform 
orifice (Fig. 25 b) length 0.039 mm., width 
0.036 mm. subcircular, raised above abdo-
