Crescentaleyrodes fumipennis (Hempel) View in CoL comb. n.

Aleurodes fumipennis Hempel, 1899 View in CoL . Syntypes, Brazil: São Paulo [not examined]. Aleurotrachelus fumipennis (Hempel) Quaintance & Baker, 1914 View in CoL .

Material examined: Brazil: Mato Grosso, 25.iii.1968, (O.W. Richards), ex: undetermined grass (2 slides) .

Comments: as already mentioned in detail, the redescription and illustrations provided by Bondar (1923) as well as the specimens examined, clearly indicate the appropriate inclusion of this species in Crescentaleyrodes . This species is very close to C. paulianae (Cohic) and maybe they are synonym, but this need to check the type material of the latter species. The specimens of C. paulianae studied for this study were from the same locality and host plant of type materials and showed slightly differences from C. fumipennis .
