Aleurolobus Quaintance & Baker, 1914 View in CoL View at ENA

Type-species: Aleurodes marlatti Quaintance, 1903 . Rositaleyrodes Meganathan & David, 1994 . Type-species: Aleurolobus oplismeni Takahashi, 1931 . Syn. n.

Comments: As discussed before, according to Meganathan and David (1994), Rositaleyrodes resembles Aleurolobus in all the characters, but it differs from it, by having the submargin entirely demarcated from dorsum by a submarginal furrow and thoracic and caudal tracheal combs differentiated from margin by teeth and a pouch like structure. The latter character is variable in Aleurolobus and the entire submarginal furrow can be seen in other species of this genus, e.g. A. hargreavesi . Rositaleyrodes is therefore here regarded as a junior synonym of Aleurolobus syn. n.
