Two nuclear DNA sequences (D2 and 18S) were used to reconstruct the phylogeny of 80 species in over 40 Indo-Australian Aleyrodid genera. Four methods were applied: distance, parsimony, maximum likelihood, and a bayesian technique. Herein we discuss relationships between the genera and compare the utility and differences of the four analytic approaches with relationships based on morphological characteristics of puparia.
