Abstract
- The whitefly genus Tuberaleyrodes Takahashi is reported for the first time from India with description of a new species, Tuberaleyrodes monpa sp. nov. The new species was found infesting leaves of Macaranga peltata (Roxburgh) Muller (Euphorbiaceae) in the State of Arunachal Pradesh in North-East India. Euphorbiaceae is a new host family record for Tuberaleyrodes species. The new species differs from its Malaysian congener Tuberaleyrodes aequalis Dubey et Martin in having fewer submarginal setae, prominent thoracic tracheal pores, large median tubercles on abdominal segments I-VII and in the shape of vasiform orifice.
