BACKGROUND Nephaspis indus Gordon, 1996 was imported into Taiwan from Hawaii in 1990 as a biological control agent for the spiralling whitefly, Aleurodicus dispersus Russell, 1965 (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). However, its establishment was not known prior to this study. NEW INFORMATION Nephaspis indus Gordon, 1996, a natural enemy of Aleurodicus dispersus Russell (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) native ...

In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (15,220 bp) of the citrus spiny whitefly, Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Quaintance), a well-known pest from the superfamily Aleyrodidae. The A. spiniferus mitogenome contains 36 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 21 transfer RNAs (tRNA), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) and a large non-coding region (control region, CR). Like most...

Susceptibility of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) to Different Insecticides under Water Hardness Condition and Additives

A new monotypic genus of whiteflies (Aleyrodidae), Gadigaleyrodes gen.n., is described and illustrated for G. froggatti sp.n. from New South Wales, Australia. Specimens were collected by W. W. Froggatt in 1899 on Syncarpia glomulifera, and subsequently by P. S. Gillespie on an unknown climbing plant. The genus has unusual morphological features with traits common to both Aleurodicinae and Aleyr...

Türkiye’nin tüm bölgelerinde tespit edilen Beyazsinek (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) türleri üzerinde yapılan taksonomik bir çalışmadır. Güneydoğu Anadolu Projesi (GAP) faliyete başlamasıyla artan bitki türü çeşitliliği ve yıl ürün alınabilmesimesinden kaynaklı olarak varlığını koruyan zararlı konumuna gelmiştir. Ayrıca tarımsal sulamadan dolayı nem oranı yoğunluğu artırmış olup bu nedenle ürünlerde ...

There are numerous gene rearrangements and transfer RNA gene absences existing in mitochondrial (mt) genomes of Aleyrodidae species. To understand how mt genomes evolved in the family Aleyrodidae, we have sequenced the complete mt genome of Aleurocanthus camelliae and comparatively analyzed all reported whitefly mt genomes. The mt genome of A. camelliae is 15,188 bp long, and consists of 13 pro...

the occurrence of the hymenopterous parasitoid of the sugarcane whitefly, neomaskellia andropogonis corbett (hem.: aleyrodidae), in iran is newly reported. the aphelinid species, eretmocerus delhiensis mani, which was reared from nymphs of the sugarcane whitefly, belongs to the subfamily aphelininae and tribe eretmocerini.

Whiteflies are the most important pests of economic crops in Egypt causing huge damage to them by their direct feeding, formation sooty mold on plants and vectoring plant viruses. An updated list 25 species whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) known occur an identification key provided.

The aim of this note is to report the parasitism Aleurodicus pseudugesii Martin, 2008 (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) nymphs by Aleuroctonus marki Hansson & LaSalle, 2003 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in coconut palm Cocos nucifera L. (Arecaceae) Santa Izabel do Pará, a municipality Eastern Amazon. This first recorded instance parasitoid species A. pseudugesii.
