The Genus Singhius Takahashi (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae): with Notes on Pupal Dimorphism and Intraspecific Variation, and a Key to the Species
Anil Kumar Dubey, Chiun-Cheng Ko, and Baliah Vasantharaj David (2008) The whitefly genus Singhius Takahashi (1932) is revised based on examination of types and other determined specimens. Singhius ehretiae Jesudasan and David is synonymized with S. hibisci (Kotinsky). Adult morphology is provided for the first time for S. hibisci. Notes on dimorphism, intraspecific variations, and new hosts are given. The study led to a generic redescription, and supports Singhius as a full genus; species diagnoses and an identification key to puparia are given.
