Faunistic research of whitefly species of the genus Aleurochiton Tullgren, 1907, conducted in the period 2005-2007 on maples in Croatia resulted in the recording of 3 species. The species Aleurochiton acerinus Haupt, 1934 was identified on the common maple (Acer campestre L.) at numerous Croatian inland sites. Aleurochiton aceris (Modeer) 1778 was found on Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) in the central and northern inland part. Aleurochiton pseudoplatani Visnya, 1936 was recorded on Montpelier maple (Acer monspessulanum L.) in the northern coastal region and on sycamore maple (Acer pseudopla­ tanus L.) in northern coastal and continental part of Croatia.
