Aleuroclava Singh, 1931
Singh (1931) erected the genus Aleuroclava with Aleuroclava complex Singh 1931 as the type species. It is by far the largest genus of whiteflies, with 148 nominal species, followed by Dialeurodes with 121 species (Evans 2007, personal communication). The Indomalayan fauna of Aleuroclava is the most rich and diverse with 132 species, of which 66 species were described from India, followed by 15 species from the Eastern Palearctic region, primarily from China and Japan. Three species, A. aucubae (Kuwana, 1911), A. jasmini (Takahashi, 1932) and A. similis (Takahashi, 1938) have been introduced in the Nearctic and the Western Palearctic regions; A. jasmini (Takahashi) and A. similis (Takahashi) were introduced in the Neotropical region; and A. jasmini (Takahashi) is the only species recorded from the Pacific Islands (Table 1). The Western Palearctic, Afrotropical, Malagesian and Australian regions have two, two, two and one species described, respectively.
