This whitefly was located on the leaf of a Calamansi (Citrus microcarpa) plant. The identity was diagnosed based on the images seen in two publications from India [1-2]. According to the publications, this whitefly is distinguished by an "X"-shaped marking on the adult forewing which resembled that in my images.
