粉蝨科昆蟲形態及分子分類之研究(II)

Dialeurodes Cockerell of Taiwan were studied and one new species are described: D.
citri (Ashmead), D. daphniphylli Takahashi, D. kirkaldyi (Kotinsky), and D. swidi Ko, n. sp.
D. agalmae Takahashi and D. citri are synomynous. A key to Taiwanese species of this
genus based on pupal cases and adults are provided The long-term will apply more
techniques such as molecular markers, acoustic signal analysis, and mating behavior. To
gather more data in understanding the diversity and evolution of whitefly species, for
assessing and reconstructing the phylogenetic tree of whiteflies. A higher priority for the
project in this year is to publish with the combination of morphological and molecular traits.
