Mature adult bandedwinged whiteflies have zig-zag bands across the front pair of wings.
The hind pair of wings are unmarked. With the exception of the front banded wings this whitefly is very similar to greenhouse whitefly. The eggs are about 0.12 mm long and 0.10 mm wide. Eggs are placed randomly or in circles on the leaf underside. Newly deposited eggs are pale yellow and turn pale pinkish just before hatching.
