Abstract
Three new whitefly species, Trialeurodes rex Martin sp. nov., T. bruneiensis Martin sp. nov. and Metabemisia palawana Martin sp. nov. are described from fern hosts in Sulawesi, Borneo and Palawan, respectively. An annotated check list of whiteflies feeding on pteridophyte hosts worldwide is presented, including host records and geographical distribution. A table is presented, comparing the names of fern hosts from literature with their current status.References
