Genus:   Stenaleyrodes  Takahashi 

Nomenclature:

    Stenaleyrodes  Takahashi  [Martin & Streito, 2003][Dumbleton, 1956][Takahashi, R. 1938].

Biology: Narrowly elongated shape and normally on coconut pal. [Dumbleton, 1956][Martin & Streito, 2003].

Distribution [Martin & Streito, 2003][Dumbleton, 1956][Takahashi, R. 1938]: Known only from Afrotropical (Mayotte Island, Kenya, & Tanzania) & Pacific (New Caledonia).

Taxonomy [Martin & Streito, 2003][Dumbleton, 1956][Takahashi, R. 1938]:   Terminal claw absent on each leg.   Elongate antennae.  No compound  pores.  No transverse bands.

This  genus of the Aleurodicinae lacks an apical claw (or pad) on the appendages.   It is still diagnostic of the Aleurodicinae because of two pair of setae on the lingula and the very long pupal antennae that extends to the center of the middle legs. 

Related genera [Martin & Streito, 2003][Dumbleton, 1956][Takahashi, R. 1938]. Note that this genus can only be separated from Dialeurodicus  by its elongate shape and the lack of an apical claw.  Larval stage may be confused with Octaleurodicus because of its submedian row of four compound pores.
