Abstract:
This note has the purpose to rectify the identification of Stethorus minutalus Gordon & Chapin as a predator of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), for its correct name, Nephaspis cocois Gordon in a recent published paper. Similarities and differences between these two species are presented to avoid future misidentifications.
