Two new whitefly species of the genus Aleuroclava Singh are described from the Andaman Islands, India. Empty puparia of Aleuroclava aporosaesp. nov. and Aleuroclava jarwaisp. nov. were found on the underside of the leaves of Aporosa octandra (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) Vickery (Phyllanthaceae) and Syzygium sp. (Myrtaceae), respectively. Diagnostic characteristics differentiating the new species from the congeners are given. Descriptions of the new species include morphometrics, line drawings, images of habitus on leaf, holotypes and SEM microphotographs.
