A swarm of whiteflies--the first record of gregarious behavior from Eocene Baltic amber.

Jacek Szwedo1, Jowita Drohojowska2.   

Abstract

A new whitefly Snotra christelae gen. et sp. n. is characterized, illustrated, and described from the Baltic amber. It represents the first record of gregarious behavior of Aleyrodinae (Aleyrodidae) whiteflies in fossil state. Implications of this finding on interpretation of whiteflies and their host-plant relationships and evolutionary traits of the group are discussed.
