Distribution in the Canary Islands: GRAN CANARIA: Arucas. Elsewhere: Palaeartic Region: Algeria, Corsica, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Sardinia, Sicily, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Japan, Federation of Independent States. Oriental Region: China, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand. Neotropical Region: Argentina. Neartic Region: USA (Florida).

Host plants in the Canary Islands: Citrus reticulata . Other listed host plants: D. citri has been recorded feeding on a wide variety of other plants ( Mound & Halsey, 1978) but it is most commonly associated with Citrus ( Patti & Rapisarda, 1981; Martin et al., 2000).

Comments: Dialeurodes citri is a well known citrus pest, although its hosts also include many broad leaf trees ( Jensen, 2001). Dialeurodes citri is characterised by having a colourless pupal case, broadly oval with margin smooth and tracheal areas differentiated as pores; eighth abdominal setae anterior to widest part of operculum; ventral tracheal folds punctuated by distinct stippling. In the field, crypsis renders feeding stages difficult to see unless in high numbers.
