COMMENTS. A. coccolobae is one of three species that form a natural grouping within Aleurodicus , their puparia lacking the more usual pair of small compound pores on each of abdominal segments VII & VIII, and with particularly dense provision of dorsal disc pores of four types. This small group was discussed in detail as part of the description of A. dispersus Russell (1965) .
