Detection of Whitefly (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Aleyrodidae) Species in the Thrace Province of Marmara Region, Türkiye

Abstract

Species belonging to the Aleyrodidae family (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha) are phytophagous insects. So far, 1556 species belonging to this family have been identified within 161 genera worldwide. In this study conducted with the aim of uncovering the Aleyrodidae fauna of Türkiye, the investigation focused on the Thrace region of the Marmara Area in 2019-2022 years. During the study, sampling was carried out in both agricultural and non-agricultural areas of Istanbul, Tekirdağ, Edirne, and Kırklareli provinces. The study identified 12 whitefly species from 9 different genera. These species are Acaudaleyrodes rachipora (Singh), Aleurochiton aceris (Modeer), Aleurolobus olivinus Quaintance and Baker, Aleurotuba jelinekii (Frauenfeld), Aleyrodes proletella L., Bemisia afer Priesner & Hosny, B. tabaci Gennadius, Dialeurodes citri (Ashmead), Siphoninus finitimus Silvestri, Siphoninus phillyreae (Haliday), Trialeurodes lauri Signoret, and T. vaporariorum Westwood. Among these species, Aleurochiton aceris (Modeer), this study presents the first record of in Türkiye's insect fauna. This study contributed to Türkiye's whitefly fauna and insect biodiversity.
