Abstract/Description

The aleyrodid Aleurodicus dispersus is reported from Nigeria. The first observation was made on cassava in early 1992 at several locations in Ibadan. A survey carried out in January 1993 revealed that several genera, many of them important food and ornamental crops, are food plants of the insect.
