Abstract
1. 1. The sugar content of honeydew from three species of whitefly (Aleyrodidae) and four species of aphid (Aphididae) was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. 2. 2. More than 20% of the sugar in honeydew from the whitefly Bemisia tabaci was found to be oligomers larger than disaccharides. 3. 3. Honeydew from two species of the whitefly genus Trialeurodes contained more than 20% turanose. 4. 4. It was established that the insect species is important in determining the sugar composition of homoptera honeydew.
