Version 070606 Last Revised: June 11, 2007 THE WHITEFLIES (HEMIPTERA: ALEYRODIDAE) OF THE WORLD and Their Host Plants and Natural Enemies GREGORY A. EVANS USDA/Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 2 Introduction Mound & Halsey (1978) listed 1156 species in 126 genera of whiteflies (Aleyrodidae) in the latest catalogue of the whiteflies of the world and their host plants and natural enemies. Since then, several new genera and species have been described and others have been synonymized with previously described taxa. Martin & Mound (2007) recently published a checklist of the whiteflies of the world that includes 1556 species in 161 genera belonging to three extant (living) subfamilies (Aleurodicinae and Aleyrodinae), and one fossil (non-living) subfamily (Bernaeinae). The subfamily Aleurodicinae is primarily New World in distribution and includes 118 species in 18 genera. The subfamily Aleyrodinae is worldwide in distribution and includes 1424 species in 148 genera. The subfamily Udamosellinae includes 2 South American species in the genus Udamoselis. The information included herein was extracted from the literature and includes unpublished records of whiteflies and their host plants, distribution and natural enemies taken from the FSCA, USNM collections, in addition to records of whitefly parasitoids in my personal collection. I have also included records of species intercepted at U.S. ports of entry on shipments of imported products, but have listed them separately from the other host and distribution records. I wanted to include these records to indicate the possible occurrence of these species in the supposed country of origin, but with the understanding that the actual occurrence of these species in each country must be confirmed by collections made within each country. Readers are also referred to the USDA/Systematic Entomology Laboratory Whitefly Collection website: [http://www.sel.barc.usda.gov/whitefly/wfframe.htm] to search the USNM holdings. This project began several years ago with the initial support of the National Biological Control Institute (USDA/NBCI). Several people have been instrumental in bringing it about. I thank: Avas Hamon (FSCA), Steve Nakahara and Louise Russell (USDA/SEL) who identified most of the whitefly species in the FSCA and USNM collections; John Dooley (USDA/APHIS), who identified many of the whiteflies intercepted at the U.S. ports of entry; Bruce Sutton for his help in creating the FILEMAKER PRO search and report forms used in the website; Bob Carlson (USDA/SEL) for his help in improving and maintaining the website and the many people who have collected whiteflies and their parasitoids throughout the world. I wish to especially thank Dr. Anil K. Dubey (Indian Institute of Science) for his comments, corrections and additions to the manuscript, and for all of the time and effort that he has put into this work. This document was created by merging the records in the database, accessed at [http://www.sel.barc.usda.gov:591/1WF/whitefly_catalog.htm], into a word processing document, which were then formatted and edited. It was created to compile the information in the database/website and make it readily and freely available to researchers and other readers. You are free to copy it, use it, and share it with anyone you wish. I will continually be updating and editing the information and will post the new versions on my whitefly website, so that readers will be able to easily replace the previous version with the updated one. I hope that having this information readily available will encourage more systematic research on whiteflies and their natural enemies and international cooperation in the study and introduction of natural enemies to combat pest species.
