The new genus also differs from an Old World genus, <em>Regiominutus</em> Dubey, 2021 in habitus, pattern of wax secretion, shape, size, cuticle colour, raised lateral margin, extension of segment sutures and the lingula reaching outside the margin of the vasiform orifice, and in having the thoracic tracheal folds. <em>Orophea katschallica</em> is recorded as a new host plant for the whiteflies. Images of puparial habitus and types, line drawings and scanning electron microscope (SEM) microphotographs are provided.</p>}, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Dubey, Anil Kumar}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={1–16} }
