Neobemisia has been synonymized with Asterobemisia by Mound and Halsey (1978), only to be further synonymized along with Asterobemisia under Bemisia by David and Dubey (2009). Lipaleyrodes

Takahashi has also been synonymized under Bemisia by Dubey et al. (2009).

Species Morphology

The following is a generalized review on the morphology and taxonomy of the genus Bemisia and some of its possible relatives. Uncertainty of the specific limits of B. tabaci sensu stricto, or B. tabaci strain A, and B. argentifolia , or strain B, and the uncertainty of the native origin of both strains,

were the major forces behind the initial attempt to understand the entire genus.

There are two major species assemblages (species complexes) within the genus Bemisia and those genera to which it appears most closely related: the tabaci complex, the afer complex, including the afer group, and the asterobemisia group (including the genera Asterobemisia and Neobemisia ,

now synonymized under the genus Bemisia ). There are several other small groups of species either included in Bemisia or in apparently related genera, but their correct generic placement is open to question. Reference here to the tabaci complex is restricted to Bemisia tabaci Gennadius and its various populations, Bemisia capitata Regu and David and Bemisia formosana Takahashi. Other species or genera may actually belong in the complex, such as Lipaleyrodes Takahashi (now placed in
