Aleurodicus vinculus Martin, 2004: 30. Holotypepuparium, Belize[BMNH, examined.]
DISTRIBUTION. Neotropical Region – Belize.
MATERIAL EXAMINED. Typematerial as detailed in description, Belize( BMNH).
COMMENTS. Only a single sample comprising three puparia, and a further single specimen, are known, and these were initially tentatively identified as a variant of A. trinidadensisQuaintance & Baker. Incomparison with study material of A. trinidadensisfrom Trinidad, the Belizean specimens have a much greater number of small septate pores on the dorsal disc, these arranged in distinct chain-like rows across the submedian areas of the cephalothorax and abdominal segments II-VIII; on the meso- and metathorax, there are two such chains of pores (Fig. 30). Without more study samples, the degree of variation in A. trinidadensisis uncertain, but A. vinculusis here considered to be distinct, defined by these chains of septate pores, and the species is a member of the capiangae/ dugesiispecies-group.
