Abstract
A check list of whiteflies in Croatia is presented, with a list of references and the results by authors from the period 2005-2007, performed for the first time in Croatia ([IMALA, 2008). In the reference list, 10 species have been described. 31 different whitefly species were identified by our own faunistic investigations, 21 of which are new for the Croatian fauna. These are the following species: Aleurochiton acerinus Haupt, 1934; Aleurochiton pseudoplatani Visnya, 1936; Aleuroclava hikosanensis Takahashi, 1938; Aleuroclava jasmini Takahashi, 1932; Aleurolobus wunni Ryberg, 1938; Aleurotuba jelinekii Frauenfeld, 1867; Aleuroviggianus adrianae Iaccarino, 1982; Aleyrodes asari Schrank, 1801; Aleyrodes elevatus Silvestri, 1934; Aleyrodes lonicerae Walker, 1852; Asterobemisia carpini Koch, 1857; Asterobemisia obenbergeri Zahradnik, 1961; Asterobemisia paveli Zahradnik, 1961; Bemisia afer Priesner & Hosny, 1934; Massilieurodes chittendeni Laing, 1928; Massilieurodes setiger Goux, 1939; Neopealius rubi Takahashi, 1954; Simplaleurodes hemisphaerica Goux, 1945; Siphoninus immaculatus Heeger, 1856; Tetraleurodes hederae Goux, 1939 and Tetralicia ericae Harrison, 1917.
