LXXXVII.—Keys to the genera of the Aleyrodinae and notes on certain genera. (Homoptera: Aleyrodinae)

Systematics of Bemisia and Bemisia Relatives: Can Molecular Techniques Solve the Bemisia tabaci Complex Conundrum – A Taxonomist’s Viewpoint

“…Early work by Sampson (1943Sampson ( , 1947 and Sampson and Drews (1956) included the first family-wide keys to the genera of world whiteflies. Basically, these keys break apart some major groupings of genera based on the important characters found in the vasiform orifice or associated with it in the pupal stage.…”

A cladistic analysis of whiteflies, subfamily Aleyrodinae (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Aleyrodidae)

“…The Aleyrodini originally comprised 24 genera (Sampson 1943), and the author added another genus in 1947. Five more genera were added later (Drews and Sampson 1956;Sampson and Drews 1956) (Appendix A). Of these Aleuromigada Singh is considered as nomina nuda and the name Frauenfeldiella Gomez-Menor is not available in Aleyrodidae as it is preoccupied in the Cecidomyidae; the genus is now known as Aleurotuba (Mound and Halsay 1978;Tremblay and Iaccarino 1978).…”

“…Sampson (1943) was the first to classify aleyrodine genera to five tribes (Appendix A). Whereas, in 1956, in their identification key for the genera of the subfamily, Sampson and Drews (1956) placed almost all described genera by that time in two tribes, Aleyrodini and Dialeurodini, and the other three tribes was each comprised of a single genus. The authors also did not include the sixth tribe proposed by Russell (1947) in the key because of difficulty of finding characters to separate it from the others, and nothing was mentioned about the two tribes proposed by Takahashi (1954).…”

Host Plants and Distribution of Some Whiteflies Species (Hemiptera, Aleyrodidae) in the Middle of Iraq

“…The infected leaves by the whitefly were examined by a binocular dissecting microscope to distinguish the pupal case with a fine needle, pupal cases were mounted on slides according to Bink (1979), and examined under a compound microscope by using an ocular micrometer to measure length of the insect. Identification keys of Mound (1965Mound ( , 1966, Habib and Farag (1970) and Sampson and Drews (1956) were used to identify species collected during this study. …”
