Genus: Massilieurodes Goux 1939
Nomenclature [Jensen 2001] [Martin, 1999: 66-67] [Jensen, 1999]:
Dialeurodes Quaintance & Baker, 1914: 97
Aleyrodes (Dialeurodes) Cockerell, 1902: 283
Biology [Jensen 2001] [Martin, 1999: 66] [Jensen, 1999]: Puparia normally pale, sometimes variously pigmented, rarely black or brown shape is oval to round the most speciose genus with more than 140 taxa described. A cladistic appraisal of the Dialeurodes group has been published by Jensen comparing 40 species and an undescribed species found in Florida specific to Schefflera.
Distribution [Jensen 2001] [Martin, 1999: 66-67] [Jensen, 1999]: Unusual but natural distribution in northern temperate and subtropical areas including Europe, USA, India, Japan, and Taiwan
Taxonomy [Jensen 2001: 292] [Martin, 1999: 66]: Dorsum. Cephalon not delineated by a short subdorsal suture; vasiform orifice with faint toothlike ridges radiating into orifice. Chaetotaxy. 13 to 15 submarginal setae present; the posterior pair (usually the 14th pair) usually situated on caudal ridges between caudal setae & vasiform orifice. Venter. Fore & midlegs closely appressed; lateral margin of legs ornamented almost always with scattered spinules. Thoracic tracheal folds/furrows almost always smooth or with only a few near the margin; the caudal furrow lined with transverse rows of nodules; or, if the posterior pair (usually the 14th pair) laterad of caudal ridges, then caudal furrow wider than vasiform orifice anteriorly and lined with many rows of small nodules.
