Biology [Jensen 2001] [Martin, 1999: 66] [Jensen, 1999] : Puparia normally pale,oval to round  with about 28 taxa described.   A cladistic appraisal of the Dialeurodes group has been published by Jensen comparing this to the Dialeurodes and Massilieurodes Genera.

Distribution [Jensen 2001] [Martin, 1999: 66-67] [Jensen, 1999]:  Occurs mostly in the Palaearctic and Oriental regions with a some in the Afrotropical, Australasian, the New World regions.  One species, Singhiella citrifolii (Morgan), is widely distributed and the only species known to occur in the USA.

Taxonomy [Martin, 1999: 66] :  Front of head not delineated by a short subdorsal suture;  Some or all dorsal pores mounted on rounded papilla.  Tergite AI  normally with 3 or more pores on the dorsal area.
