| Summary: | Two whitefly species belong to the genus Aleurodicus, subfamily Aleurodicinae (Hemiptera:
Aleyrodidae), have been reported to attack various hosts in Indonesia. Identification of the
subfamily Aleurodicinae based on the morphological character has been described in previous
studies. However, there was a limitation on identification based on morphological character. In
addition, the genetic information of those species collected from Indonesia is still little known.
Therefore, this study aimed to characterize and identify two whiteflies of the subfamily
Aleurodicinae collected from several districts in the Western Java, Indonesia area using
morphology and genetic characteristics. The samples from Ancol (District of North Jakarta)
and Cipanas (District of West Java) were used for molecular identification. First, the
morphological character was determined based on pupa and adult profiles. The molecular
identification was conducted using primer pair C1-J-2195 and L2-N-3014 that covered partly
the COI region. The colony of whiteflies from Ancol and Cipanas was identified as Aleurodicus
disperses and A. dugesii, respectively. Partial COI sequence analysis showed that A. disperses
Ancol has a similarity of more than 99-100% and grouping with other A. disperses species from
Asia. Meanwhile, the partial COI sequence of A. dugesii Cipanas shared more than 99%
similarity with A. dugesii from the USA. |
