Type species: Dialeurolobus pulcher Danzig, 1964, by monotypy and original designation.</p><p>The genus Dialeurolobus was described by Danzig (1964) to accommodate a single new species, Dialeurolobus pulcher Danzig, from the Caucasus region of Russia. Currently, the genus contains three species, namely D. erythrinae (Corbett, 1935), D. pulcher Danzig, 1964 and D. rhamni Bink-Moenen, 1992 (Martin &amp; Mound, 2007; Evans, 2007). Aleuromarginatus erythrinae Selvakumaran &amp; David, 1996, was synonymized with D. erythrinae (Corbett) by Martin &amp; Mound (2007). Martin et al. (2000) noted that D. rhamni may prove to be a synonym of D. pulcher .</p><p>Species of Dialeurolobus occur in the Middle East, India, the eastern Palaearctic region, Korea and Malaysia. They feed on plant species belonging to the Fabaceae, Lythraceae, Rhamnaceae, Rosaceae and Rutaceae (Martin et al., 2000; Lee et al., 2005; Evans, 2007; Martin &amp; Mound, 2007; Suh &amp; Hodges, 2008). Little appears to have been published on the biologies of these particular whiteflies. The life cycle of D. rhamni, on the deciduous plant Rhamnus lycioides in the Mediterranean area, was studied by Gerling and Ben-Ari (2010). They provided an account of the adaptation of D. rhamni to the life cycle of its host plant, with regard to the overwintering mode of this insect.</p><p>The genus Dialeurolobus is not readily definable by a diagnosis to which all its included species conform. In general, the puparia are dark (one species is pale), with a crenate margin, and the transverse moulting sutures may curve strongly forward. Abdominal segment VIII is trilobate, the median length of segment VII is reduced, and there is no submarginal fold or suture around the dorsum. The vasiform orifice is triangular, almost fully occupied by the operculum. First abdominal setae are present or absent, cephalic setae are present and thoracic setae are usually absent. Small combs are usually evident in the thoracic and caudal tracheal areas.</p><p>Dialeurolobus is very similar to Aleurolobus Quaintance &amp; Baker, 1914, from which it differs by not having a dorsal submarginal suture (Danzig, 1964). Dialeurolobus, or at least its type species D. pulcher, also closely resembles Zaphanera Corbett, 1926, but differs mainly by having a caudal furrow and triangular vasiform orifice (Martin, 1999). The transverse moulting sutures of D. pulcher and D. rhamni curve strongly forward, which is a characteristic feature of Zaphanera . Like Zaphanera, Dialeurolobus has a crenate margin, no dorsal sbmarginal fold, and there are general similarities in the chaetotaxy of these two genera.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A187D9FFB75E76FF5AFB1DE696FEAB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Only known to occur in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.</p><p>Host plant. Protea nitida Mill. (Proteaceae) . This plant is endemic to South Africa, where it occurs in the Western and Eastern Cape provinces. It is a large, common protea species that grows into a tree, and is valued for its showy flowers and timber (Coates Palgrave, 2002).</p><p>Etymology. The name is derived from the host plant genus, Protea .</p><p>Comments. Dialeurolobus proteae sp. nov. differs from the other three species in this genus mainly by the morphological characters mentioned in the key below. It is most similar to D. rhamni, but has fewer pairs of setae in the submargin/subdorsum area, and more teeth in the tracheal combs. It also lacks eyespots, a caudal furrow, and caudal setae; all of these structures are present in D. rhamni . Also, the transverse moulting sutures in D. rhamni are curved abruptly anteriad, whereas in D. proteae they are more conventional in shape.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A187D9FFB45E77FF5AFE01E129FE1E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
