Classification of the Aleyrodidae (Classic Reprint)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of whiteflies, a family of insects that has been largely overlooked by entomologists. The author examines the morphology and metamorphosis of these tiny creatures, providing a detailed analysis of their anatomy, including their unique waxy secretions and the complex workings of their digestive and reproductive systems. This book goes beyond simple classification, offering a rich exploration of the evolutionary relationships between whiteflies and other insect families like the Psyllidae and the Aphididae. The author presents a compelling case for whiteflies as an offshoot of the psyllid lineage, demonstrating the striking similarities in their mouthparts, legs, and genitalia. He proposes a new system of classification for whiteflies, dividing the family into two subfamilies based on the presence or absence of specific wing veins and the development of unique waxy pores in the pupal stage. By providing a detailed understanding of the evolution and diversity of whiteflies, this book offers invaluable insights into the fascinating complexities of the natural world.
