Aleuroglandulus

Puparium broadly ovoid, somewhat narrowed caudally, flattened between caudal setae, widest opposite transverse moulting sutures. Margin smooth to irregular, without teeth except thoracic tracheal combs of up to five irregularly defined rounded teeth and caudal tracheal combs of 10+ better-defined small rounded teeth. Vasiform orifice rounded-triangular, inset from puparial margin by less than its own length. Operculum and lingula spinulose; lingula occasionally overlapping posterior margin of vasiform orifice, with three pairs of pronounced lateral lobes and a pair of apical setae; lingular setae extend beyond vasiform orifice, almost to puparial margin. Caudal setae stout, placed marginally at either end of caudal tracheal comb, attaining length of vasiform orifice. Ventral abdominal setae long and fine, similar in length to vasiform orifice. Anterior and posterior marginal setae present, very fine. First abdominal and eighth abdominal setae present, the latter placed adjacent to anterior corners of vasiform orifice and much shorter than operculum. Rims of operculum and vasiform orifice, and head of lingula, brownish.
