Nymphs on oak leaf - Aleuroplatus

Nymphs on oak leaf - Aleuroplatus
Oakland, Alameda County, California, USA
December 19, 2012
I kept the twig bearing this leaf with its cut end in water and got some close-up lenses, which enable slightly better images of the nymphs than those submitted earlier.

Looks like two different species here
Referring to Phenology and descriptions of two sympatric native whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) with a high degree of niche overlap and specifically the diagram on page 40, it appears this photo has both A. coronata and A. gelatinosus.
