Narrow white peripuparial wax fringe present (Figs 52, 59). Puparium often evenly oval shaped although sometimes cephalothorax marked by minor constrictions of margin. Puparia sexually dimorphic: female 1020–1120 μm long, 675–815 μm wide, male 890–940 μm long, 610–640 μm wide. Margin very narrow, pale (golden) with regular rounded teeth, 7–8 per 0.1 mm with very little or no exaggeration at tracheal openings. Dorsum. (Figs 53–54) Eleven pairs of orange long stout glandular spines present in submargin forming evenly spaced marginal concentric ring being the most elevated aspect of puparium, discal area concave. Marginal concentric ring of simple pores present between glandular spines. Longitudinal moulting suture reaching margin. Transverse moulting suture reaching margin in a “W” shape. Very pale circular eye spots apparent on cleared specimens. Rhachis absent or very weakly defined medially. Abdominal segments barely marked medially, VII not significantly different in length than preceding segments. Vasiform orifice rounded, slightly chordate and situated not much more than one vasiform orifice width from margin. Vasiform orifice elevated, particularly posteriorly. Operculum dark, rounded with straight posterior face, almost filling vasiform orifice. Lingula completely obscured by operculum. Chaetotaxy (Fig. 54). Anterior and posterior marginal setae present. Cephalothoracic, first, eighth abdominal and caudal setae present. Eighth abdominal setae situated laterad to, and up to 1.5 x length of, vasiform orifice. Caudal setae twice length of vasiform orifice, situated two setal base widths from margin. Submarginal glandular spines 11 pairs, long, tapered with laciniate tips, arranged in marginal concentric fashion with 6 cephalothoracic and 5 abdominal pairs. Submarginal glandular spines with regular variation in size with 1 st, 4 th and 6 th cephalothoracic pairs being consistently shorter (less than 50 % of puparial width ~ 180 μm) than the remaining pairs (~ 80 % of puparial width ~ 385 μm). Venter. (Fig. 54) Cephalothoracic and caudal tracheal folds absent. Venter unmarked except for numerous fine stipples medially, these lines of stipples present at base of all legs and almost completely covering hind legs.

Non type material: [Qld], Mt Nebo, Qld, McNeil & Coombs, Ref 151, ex Sloanea woollsii, 10 x puparia on 10 slides (ANIC). Comments. This species is common on the eastern seaboard of Australia on a variety of rainforest trees particularly myrtaceous and rutaceous hosts. It will likely be found in suitable rainforest habitats south to Victoria. The author has found this species damaging street trees (Acmena smithii) in a number of Sydney suburbs. The records from Adelaide likely represent an incursion on suitable hosts that have been grown as ornamentals – it seems highly unlikely this area would be considered part of its normal distribution. This species is very similar to A. froggatti but can be distinguished from it by an additional two pairs of marginal setae, the long and non-uniform length of these setae and its preference for wetter habitats. The third-instar nymph of A. neofroggatti has one conspicuous pair of very long meso-cephalothoracic glandular spines, unlike those of A. froggatti which lack long glandular spines completely. The series collected from Sloanea in Qld, and excluded from the type material, is in poor condition and tentatively distinguished as A. neofroggatti to which it is most similar, but each specimen has only four abdominal pairs of glandular spines. A. froggatti belongs to the ‘ banksiae-valenciae’ group.Published as part of Gillespie, Peter S., 2012, A review of the whitefly genus Aleurocanthus Quaintance & Baker (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Australia, pp. 1-42 in Zootaxa 3252 on pages 26-28, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.24642

Peripuparial wax sometimes present only at thoracic and caudal tracheal openings as short white tufts, dorsal wax thin and clear. Puparium widest at abdominal segment II and in outline somewhat angular, 1187–1312 μm long, 937–1,062 μm wide. Margin regularly toothed with about 5–7 teeth per 0.1mm. Marginal teeth slightly gathered and exaggerated at thoracic and caudal tracheal openings.</p> <p> <b>FIGURES 60–64</b>. <i>A. octospinosus</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>: 60, puparium habitus; 61, puparium scanning electron micrograph (BC McNeil); 62, puparium illustration (inset margin detail); 63, 3rd instar (100 µm); 64, egg (100 µm).</p> <p> <i>Dorsum</i>.

Rhachis is pronounced with lateral arms reaching to subdorsum. Scattered simple pores present on dorsum. Transverse moulting sutures sinuate medially and reaching subdorsum. Longitudinal moulting suture present and reaching margin. Vasiform orifice oval/ subcircular, little or not elevated and paler in colour often appearing pinkish in live specimens. Operculum rounded cordate almost completely filling vasiform orifice. Lingula enclosed and hidden by operculum. Vasiform orifice situated more than 2 times vasiform orifice width from margin.</p> <p> <i>Chaetotaxy</i>.

Paratypes: same data as holotype, 10 x puparia on six slides (ASCT 00025318, ASCT 00027537-40, ASCT 00132208)(ASCU), 1 x 3rd instar nymph slide (ASCT 00132220) (ASCU), approx 300 x puparia and nymphs on 7 leaves (ASCT 00027536)(ASCU); Manorina, Mt Nebo, Qld, 16.vii.2004, Coombs & McNeil, ex <i>Macadamia ternifolia</i> Ref 317, 1 x puparium slide (ASCT 00169502)(ASCU), 7 x puparia on 7 slides (20-013560)(ANIC).

DeBarro, 4 x puparia on one slide (AN20.10730)(ANIC).</p> <p> <b>Comments.</b> This species is a minor pest in macadamia plantations in northern NSW where it was first brought to the author’s attention. The characteristic colouration and the number and arrangement of long glandular spines of the puparium uniquely identify the species which is closely related to <i>A. mcneili</i> but differs in having a darker colouration and one fewer pair of long marginal glandular spines. The material collected from Bunya Mountains was excluded from the type series because it is damaged and not properly cleared. The specimens collected on <i>M. ternifolia</i> were found in the company of <i>Pseudosynaleurodicus nigrimarginatus</i> – a whitefly restricted to this rare and endangered host (see Gillespie, 2006). This species was previously known as “ <i>Aleurocanthus</i> undescribed sp. 4” (Martin 1999) and belongs to the ‘ <i>banksiae-valenciae’</i> group.</p>Published as part of <i>Gillespie, Peter S., 2012, A review of the whitefly genus Aleurocanthus Quaintance & Baker (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) in Australia, pp. 1-42 in Zootaxa 3252</i> on pages 29-31, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/246421">10.5281/zenodo.246421</a>
The Thing About Florida: Exploring a Misunderstood State
No full textThe memes. “Because Florida” jokes. “Florida Man” stories. Tyler Gillespie was once embarrassed to call Florida home, concocting fantasies he’d been born somewhere else. In The Thing about Florida, Gillespie faces his Florida denial and takes readers on an exuberant search for the state behind the caricatures, cutting through the media storm with curiosity and humor. Gillespie’s journey leads him into unexpected places such as halfway houses, gator pits, rattlesnake rooms, and clothing-optional campgrounds, where he meets eclectic and unconventional Floridians. He interviews storm chasers, Civil War reenactors, cattle ranchers, drag queens, python hunters, and pet smugglers. His conversations delve into serious issues such as addiction, Florida’s racist past, and care options for the state’s LGBTQ senior citizens. With perspective and empathy derived from his background as a gay man raised Southern Baptist, Gillespie shows how important it is to understand the diversity and complexity of Florida today. “It’s dangerous to meet our fears with fear,” he says as he confronts his own as well as the state’s monsters—invasive species, hurricanes, environmental destruction. He reminds us that Florida’s people and problems are vital parts of the nation’s future. A fresh and engaging voice, Gillespie captivates with a snappy pace, sly wit, and crisp observations. As he weaves his childhood memories and personal experiences alongside the stories of the individuals he encounters, Gillespie reconciles with his home state. He finds Florida’s humanity, a beautiful mix of hopes, dreams, and second chances. Tyler Gillespie, a fifth-generation Floridian, is a poet and award-winning journalist. He has written for GQ, the Guardian, the Nation, VICE, and Salon. He is the author of Florida Man: Poems and coeditor of The Awkward Phase: The Uplifting Tales of Those Weird Kids You Went to School With.https://egrove.olemiss.edu/libarts_book/1236/thumbnail.jp
