Paraleyrodes pseudonaranjae  Martin

Nomenclature:    

Paraleyrodes  pseudonaranjae  Martin [Martin, 2001]

Biology [Martin, 2001]: Pupal case pale & ovoid with patches of broken, white filaments secreted from compound pores.

Host [Martin, 2001]: Anacardiaceae: Mangifera indica;  Annonaceae: Annona glabra;  Clusiaceae:  Calophyllum inophyllum;  Ericacaeae:  Rhododendron pulchrum;   Euphorbiaceae:  Bridelia tomentosa;  Rubiaceae:  Morinda citrifolia, Randia spinosa;  Rutaceae: Citrus grandis,  Citrus  paradisii.

Distribution:   Australasian: Hong Kong [Martin, 2001][S.E.L.],  Hawaii [Martin, 2001][S.E.L.].  Nearctic: Florida [Martin, 2001][S.E.L.].   

Taxonomy [Martin, 2001]:  First anterior reduced compound pore pair closer to midline.   Two anterior abdominal compound pores  slightly smaller, 17-22 μm each in diameter with 2-4 spineret cells containing usually 2 splines per compound pore;  associated with 2 to 5 simple discoidal pores. 

Larger cephalic & four posterior compound pores subequal in size and structure, 19.5 to 27 μm in diameter;  central lumen with inner annulus (ring) composed of 7 to 10 spineret cells  bearing 7-10 splines radially arranged;  outer annulus faintly marked.  

Dorsal simple discoidal pores present on thorax & abdomen; each larger cephalic & abdominal compound pore associated with one simple discoidal pore except  pore is lacking on segment VIII between the compound pore & the vasiform orifice; sometimes first large posterior abdominal compound pore with up to 5 associated simple discoidal pores.

Posterior marginal setae long & stout while anterior setae short & fine;  14  pairs of long, hairlike submarginal setae present with a major gap between the third & fourth cephalic setae.   

Related species [Martin, 2001]: Misidentified as Paraleyrodes naranjae  Dozier in Hawaii but separated on the adult male traits.    Very similar to P. perplexus  sp. nov.  but differs in this species lacks the submarginal crater-like pores and a bright discoidal pore between the vasiform orifice last posterior compound pore (present P. perplexus  sp. nov.) .
