Abstract In this study, species complex of Turkish B emisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) populations was determined by PCR ‐based DNA analysis. According to phylogenetic analyses, the B . tabaci samples have been identified within three generic groups. A major part of the samples belonged to two invasive species, either Middle East–Asia Minor 1 ( MEAM 1) or Mediterranean ( MED ). In addition to these two invasive species, several samples collected from greenhouses and cotton fields have been found to be related to Middle East–Asia Minor 2 ( MEAM 2), which is the first record of Turkish B . tabaci species complex.
