| description | A new species of whitefly, Aleuropleurocelus petenensis sp. nov. Carapia-Ruiz & García-Ochaeta, found on leaves of a plant belonging to the genus Acalypha (Euphorbiaceae) in Petén, Guatemala, is described based on characteristics of the pupa. This new species exhibits a black venter and has microtubercles on the subdorsal and submedian areas, whereas the most closely related species, A. mixtecus Carapia-Ruiz, presents a pale venter and has not microtubercles on the corresponding areas. In both species the transverse suture of the molt ends before the apparent margin and the dorsal surface presents folds; these features support the close relationship between these species. Microphotographs of morphological structures of the new species puparium are provided. |

Carapia-Ruiz & García-Ochaeta, encontrada sobre hojas de una planta perteneciente al género Acalypha (Euphorbiaceae) en Petén, Guatemala, es descrita basada en características de la pupa. La nueva especie presenta vientre negro y tiene microtubérculos en el área subdorsal y submediana, mientras que la especie más cercanamente relacionada, Aleuropleurocelus mixtecus Carapia-Ruiz, tiene el vientre pálido y no presenta microtubérculos en las áreas correspondientes. En ambas especies la sutura transversa de la muda termina antes de margen aparente y la superficie dorsal presenta pliegues; estas características apoyan la cercana relación entre estas especies. Microfotografías de estructuras morfológicas del pupario de la nueva especie son presentadas.
