Taiwanaleyrodes Takahashi, 1932

Takahashi (1932) erected the genus Taiwanaleyrodes with Taiwanaleyrodes meliosmae Takahashi, 1932, a species with non-tuberculate setae, which appears one-jointed and with lateral margin undifferentiated, as the type species. Corbett (1935) described Aleurotuberculatus canangae and Aleurotuberculatus macarangae, two species with tuberculate setae and tracheal clefts, and Taiwanaleyrodes canangae, Taiwanaleyrodes baccaureae and Taiwanaleyrodes fici, three species with tuberculate setae and the lateral margin undifferentiated at the opening of the tracheal furrow. He compared the latter species to Taiwanaleyrodes indica (Singh, 1931) which also has tuberculate setae and lacks a tracheal cleft. Subsequently, other species, some with non-tuberculate setae and others with tuberculate setae, and some species with and others without tracheal clefts, were placed in the genus; however, all species of Aleuroclava that have tuberculate setae were placed in Martiniella in the past; Manzari and Quicke (2006) synonymised Taiwanaleyrodes with Aleuroclava . The new synonymy created a homonym of Aleurotuberculatus macarangae Corbett, 1935 described on pages 828–829, with Taiwanaleyrodes macarangae Corbett, 1935 described on pages 840–841 of the same publication; Martin and Mound (2007) renamed the latter Martiniella sepangensis based on page priority.
