• The whitefly fauna of the Canary Islands (Spain) comprises 21 named species distributed amongst 12 genera, including four species described here - Aleyrodes bencomiae Hernández-Suárez and Martin sp. nov., Aleyrodes laurisilvae Hernández-Suárez and Martin sp. nov., Bemisia euphorbiarum Hernández-Suárez and Malumphy sp. nov. and Bemisia reyesiHernández-Suárez and Martin sp. nov. Nomenclatural changes comprise the four new species, one revalidated species (Siphoninus finitimus Silvestri stat. rev.), and two revised synonymies (Siphoninus phillyreae multitubulatus Goux becomes a junior synonym of S. finitimus Silvestri and is removed from synonymy with S. phillyreae (Haliday), and the genus Bemisiella Danzig becomes a junior synonym of Asterobemisia Trehan; both the latter genera are removed from synonymy with Bemisia Quaintance & Baker). Also, we have provided detailed discussions and illustrations of eight distinctive puparial forms of the Bemisia afer complex with scanning electron microphotographs (SEMs), line drawings and habitus photographs. In addition to the taxa described and discussed here, there are two new records for the Canary Islands, Dialeurodes citri (Ashmead) and Paraleyrodes minei Iaccarino. For each of the species already known and named prior to this study we include a brief account including its world distribution, its host-plant range in the Canary Islands, and further notes on host range beyond the Canaries. The general puparial morphology of each species is illustrated with a combination of line-drawings and habitus photographs. Three appendices are provided - a check list of Canarian whiteflies, a table of host plants of whiteflies in the Canary Islands, and lists of examined material for the whitefly species already known and named prior to our study.
