Description
Summary:Trialeurodes dicksoniae Martin, 1999 DISTRIBUTION. Australia (Victoria), New Zealand. HOST PLANTS. Dicksoniaceae: Dicksonia antarctica; D. squarrosa. COMMENTS. The type sample was collected from tree ferns in the Eucalyptus forest of Tall Trees National Park in Australia. Whitefly puparial specimens have recently been collected on a different Dicksonia species in New Zealand (R. Henderson, NZAC, personal communication), and examination reveals that a small proportion of these specimens are identical to those of Australian T. dicksoniae . However, the majority of specimens from the same sample match material in BMNH, collected by Dumbleton and determined as T. asplenii : if these other specimens are indeed T. asplenii it is considered possible that T. dicksoniae will later prove to be its synonym. : Published as part of Martin, Jon H. & Camus, Josephine M., 2001, Whiteflies (Sternorrhyncha, Aleyrodidae) colonising ferns (Pteridophyta: Filicopsida), with descriptions of two new Trialeurodes and one new Metabemisia species from south­east Asia, pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 2 on page 16, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4618039 : {"references": ["Martin, J.
