# Aleurochiton forbesii

Aleurochiton forbesii is a whitefly species found in the eastern United States and Canada. It is a parasite of maple trees and occasionally hollies.

## Description

There are two broods of pupae each year. Puparia of the first, in the early summer, are nearly colorless; puparia of overwintering individuals, most visible in the fall on the underside of leaves, have a distinctive brown pigmented pattern. These puparia are raised on a vertical fringe of whitish wax, which varies in height as the individuals age; mature individuals can have fringes with heights nearly two-thirds that of the diameter of the puparium.
Adults have a generally yellow body, with paler legs and antennae, and unmarked white wings with venation typical for Aleurochiton.

## Distribution

Aleurochiton forbesii is commonly found on silver maple, red maple, and sometimes Norway maple. It has also been reported on two holly species – Ilex coriacea and Ilex glabra. Its range stretches south to Georgia and Mississippi, north to New Brunswick and Ontario, and west to Wisconsin, Illinois, and Missouri.

## Ecology

In the fall, puparia fall to the ground on dead leaves, yielding adult whiteflies in the spring. It has not been known to become abundant enough to injure its host plants, unlike the closely related European Aleurochiton aceris.
The species can be parasitized by Amitus aleurodinis, a small parasitoid wasp in the Platygastridae family.

# Alexander Casteels the Elder

Alexander Casteels the Elder or Alexander Casteels (I) (c. 1635 – 1681–82) was a Flemish painter and draughtsman. He is known for his battle scenes and landscapes with hunters and elegant companies.

## Life

Casteels was born in Antwerp. His date of birth likely fell in the period from 1634 to 1636. He was admitted as a ‘wijnmeester’ (‘wine master’, meaning a son of a master) in the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke in the guild year 1658–1659.
He married Catharina Theresia de Poorter. The couple had a son called Josephus Franciscus Casteels. Casteels worked with the Antwerp art dealers Forchondt who traded his works throughout Europe. He was one of the leading artists of the Forchondt firm in the second half of the century. They mainly sold his works in Central and Eastern Europe where there was a demand for his hunting and battle scenes among the local aristocrats. He belonged to the higher paid artists working for Forchondt.
He died in Antwerp between 18 September 1681 and 18 September 1682 since his death duties were paid to the Guild during that period.

## Work

He specialised in scenes of cavalry battles and landscapes with hunters and elegant companies. His cavalry battles do not depict any recognisable historical events but are imaginary such as in the case of the Joshua Fights the Amalekites (National Gallery of Slovenia), which depicts a story from the bible. In this work the artist has taken inspiration from prints produced after the paintings of Antonio Tempesta. This is visible in the composition, the treatment of the landscape and the arrangement of the horses and riders. He also often painted the then popular theme of the battle between Christians and Turks, two examples of which are in the collection of the Bavarian State Painting Collections. The son of the founder of the Forchondt firm who was living in Vienna specifically requested for small and large-scale battle scenes by Alexander and that of another battle painter active in Antwerp called Pauwels Casteels, possibly a family member, to be sent to Vienna as there was a strong demand for their battle scenes in Central and Eastern Europe.
