Another spelling or variant name for the genus of insects commonly known as whiteflies, tiny sap-sucking pests of plants.
From Greek 'aleuron' (flour) + 'eidos' (appearance), an alternative scientific name formation for white-powdered wing insects.
Whiteflies got their 'flour-like' name because when they gather in huge numbers on a plant leaf and fly up together, it literally looks like flour dust exploding into the air!
