Genus: Asterobemisia Trehan (Synonym of Bemisia Quaintance and Baker)
Nomenclature:
Bemisia Quaintance and Baker Change of comb. Dubeey et al 2009
Asterobemisia Trehan, 1940: 591-593
Biology: The most common species of the Asterobemisia group of Bemisia intercepted in quarantine is B. carpini (Koch) that is pale yellow with "black eyes" and found on species of Rubus.
Distribution: Primarily an European and Mediterranean genus with one species described from Asia and one from Middle East.
Taxonomy [Martin, 2000: 428]: Dorsum. Transverse molting suture that curves upwards becoming margin-concentric before joining the longitudinal suture forming a trapdoor affect with the longitudinal suture bisecting the "trapdoor" (this separates the other Bemisia groups); triangular vasiform orifice with operculum partially covering the orifice exposing the head of an acute and inserted lingula; with or without a caudal furrow. Caudal furrow present or absent.
Natural Enemies: See species list below.
Similar genera: The margin-concentric transverse suture that is joined
to the longitudinal suture forming a trap door effect separates this genus from
most of the others with Aleyrodes and those of the Bemisia
group along with a long with the
triangular shaped vasiform orifice and the inserted, but exposed acute lingula.
