Abstract: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Dubey, Anil Kumar, Singh, Sudhir (2017): A new whitefly genus and species, Himalayaleyrodes sarcococcae Dubey (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) infesting Christmas box (Buxaceae) in Western Himalaya, India. Zootaxa 4269 (4): 531-544, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4269.4.7 Abstract Puparia, immatures and adults of a new whitefly genus and species, Himalayaleyrodes sarcococcae Dubey are described from the Western Himalaya, India. The new species was found feeding on leaves as well as on green stems of Sarcococca saligna (D. Don) Muell. Biological information, habitus, line arts, photomicrographs of holotype and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images are given for this new taxon. Also, we discuss similarities and dissimilarities of puparia of the new genus with its closely related genus Bemisia Quaintance & Baker. Feeding behaviour is discussed. Key words: Himalayaleyrodes, Aleurochiton, Asterobemisia, Bemisia, morphology, taxonomy
