Recording whitefly species (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) and their host plants from Brazil

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) comprise a group of phytophagous insects, with worldwide distribution. This group has 1,556 described species, with members concentrated in the tropics. In Brazil, as the literature on species of Aleyrodidae and associated plants is limited, our study presents species of whiteflies and their host plants collected in some Brazilian regions. New host plants or new occurrence locations for species already known in the country are presented, in addition to the record of Aleurotulus laneus Martin, a species not yet reported in Brazil.

Key words
Aleyrodinae; Aleurodicinae; whitefly host plants

Introduction

Whiteflies are tiny insects that feed on the phloem sap of plants (Walker and Perring 1994Walker, G. P. and Perring, T. M. (1994). Feeding and oviposition behavior of whiteflies (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) interpreted from AC electronic feeding monitor wave forms. Annals of Entomological Society of America, 87, 363-374. https://doi.org/10.1093/aesa/87.3.363
https://doi.org/10.1093/aesa/87.3.363... ). They belong to the Hemiptera order, Aleyrodidae family, and have 1,556 species in 161 genera, included in the subfamilies Aleurodicinae, Aleyrodinae and Udamoselinae (Mound and Halsey 1978Mound, L. A. and Halsey, S. H. (1978). Whitefly of the world – A systematic catalogue of the Aleyrodidae (Homoptera) with host plant and natural enemy data. London: British Museum (Natural History)/Wiley & Sons.; Martin and Mound 2007Martin, J. H. and Mound, L. A. (2007). An annotated check list of the world’s whiteflies (Insecta: Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Zootaxa, 1492, 1-84. https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.1492.1.1
https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.1492.1.... ). The subfamily Aleurodicinae is distributed mainly in the New World, while the subfamily Aleyrodinae has a worldwide distribution (Evans 2008Evans, G. A. (2008). The whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) of the world and their host plants and natural enemies. Beltsville: USDA/APHIS, 703 p. Available at https://sel.barc.usda.gov:8080/1WF/World-WhiteflyCatalog.pdf.2008. Accessed in: Jan, 2022.
https://sel.barc.usda.gov:8080/1WF/World... ).

Although most whiteflies species are found in the tropics, some are also present in temperate regions, where they attack crops and forest plants, thereby causing significant damage, mainly under protected cultivation conditions (Knapp et al. 2020Knapp, M., Palevsky, E. and Rapisarda, C. (2020). Insect and mite pests. In: Gullino, M. L., Albajes, R. and Nicot, P. C. (Eds.). Integrated pest and disease management in greenhouse crops (p. 101-146). Switzerland: Springer.). The losses caused by whiteflies are difficult to estimate because of the large number of crops they attack, their extremely wide geographical distribution, the variety of cultivation systems they can occur in and especially their ability to transmit viruses, which cause much more damage than the damage caused by the insects (Knapp et al. 2020Knapp, M., Palevsky, E. and Rapisarda, C. (2020). Insect and mite pests. In: Gullino, M. L., Albajes, R. and Nicot, P. C. (Eds.). Integrated pest and disease management in greenhouse crops (p. 101-146). Switzerland: Springer.).

The developmental stages of Aleyrodidae appear to be uniform and comprise the egg, four nymphal instars and the adult stage (Walker et al. 2010Walker, G. P., Perring, T. M. and Freeman, T. P. (2010). Life history, functional anatomy, feeding and mating behavior. In: Stansly, P. A. and Naranjo, S. E. (Eds). Bemisia: bionomics and management of a global pest (p. 109-160). Cham: Springer.). The eggs have a pedicel, an extension of the chorion inserted by the female into the plant during oviposition and fixed by secretion (Buckner et al. 2002Buckner, J. S., Freeman, T. P., Ruud, R. L., Chu, C. C. and Henneberry, T. J. (2002). Characterization and functions of the whitefly egg pedicel. Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 49, 22-33. https://doi.org/10.1002/arch.10006
https://doi.org/10.1002/arch.10006... ). The early first instar or crawler has well-developed legs and, after hatching, walks on the leaf’s surface in search of a suitable place to insert its stylet, remaining in that place until the end of its development; nymphs from other instars have reduced legs and are unable to move (Walker et al. 2010Walker, G. P., Perring, T. M. and Freeman, T. P. (2010). Life history, functional anatomy, feeding and mating behavior. In: Stansly, P. A. and Naranjo, S. E. (Eds). Bemisia: bionomics and management of a global pest (p. 109-160). Cham: Springer.). At the end of the fourth instar (puparium), adults emerge and can live for several weeks (Byrne and Bellows 1991Byrne, D. N. and Bellows, T. S. Jr. (1991). Whitefly biology. Annual Review of Entomology, 36, 431-457. https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev.en.36.010191.002243
https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev.en.36.01... ). After the emergence of the adult, the exuvium remains attached to the leaf, called pupal case, and it is used for morphological identification of Aleyrodidae (Martin 1987Martin, J. H. (1987). An identification guide to common whitefly pest species of the world (Homoptera, Aleyrodidae). Tropical Pest Management, 33, 298-322. https://doi.org/10.1080/09670878709371174
https://doi.org/10.1080/0967087870937117... ).

In the literature, catalogs describing whitefly species do exist, with data on their geographic distribution and host plants, as well as identification guides (Mound and Halsey 1978Mound, L. A. and Halsey, S. H. (1978). Whitefly of the world – A systematic catalogue of the Aleyrodidae (Homoptera) with host plant and natural enemy data. London: British Museum (Natural History)/Wiley & Sons.; Martin 1987Martin, J. H. (1987). An identification guide to common whitefly pest species of the world (Homoptera, Aleyrodidae).

https://sel.barc.usda.gov:8080/1WF/World... ). There are also studies on Aleyrodidae fauna in certain countries, but in Brazil, the literature on Aleyrodidae species and associated plants is scarce.

Thus, the objective of our study was to record different species of whiteflies and their host plants collected from some Brazilian regions, to highlight new host plants and new locations and record a species not yet reported in the country.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The species presented herein refer to collections made by the authors and material received from collectors from various regions of Brazil for identification. The leaves containing pupal cases were herborized, and the pupal cases were mounted on microscopic slides, according to Hodges and Evans (2005)Hodges, G. S. and Evans, G. A. (2005). An identification guide to the whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) of the Southeastern United States. Florida Entomologist, 88, 518-534. https://doi.org/10.1653/0015-4040(2005)88[518:AIGTTW]2.0.CO;2
https://doi.org/10.1653/0015-4040(2005)8... . The slides were deposited at the Departamento de Entomologia e Fitopatologia, Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. Except for the species in which the name of the entomologist responsible for identification appeared, all others were identified by the second author (AFL).

Samples of plants (exsiccates) were deposited in the Herbarium of Instituto Agronômico de Campinas (IAC) (http://herbario.iac.sp.gov.br/), and information on them was made accessible through the search of the ‘name of the species’ and/or ‘accession number’, accompanying the acronym of the Herbarium (IAC). The current nomenclature, including spelling, authorship and botanical families, was verified at the following reference sites: Flora do Brasil 2020 (http://floradobrasil.jbrj.gov.br/) and The Plant List (http://theplantlist.org/). The identification of plant species was carried out by the third author (LCB).
