The whitefly Bemisia tabaci is one of the most devastating pests in many crops. It is becoming more and more clear that B. tabaci is not just one species but a species complex consisting of numerous morphologically cryptic species. The cover picture shows a painting of whiteflies entrapped by the glandular trichomes of the tomato wild relative Solanum galapagense . The global picture of the B. tabaci species complex was updated and now consists of at least 38 groups. See pages 723–733. Painting by Syarifin Firdaus.
