Genus: Aleuropleurocelus Drews & Sampson & Tetralicia Harrison
Nomenclature [Drews & Sampson 1958: 282 ] :
Aleuropleurocelus Drews & Sampson
Biology: Puparia always black, appear to be limited to plants of the arid or semi-arid areas of the chapparal type (such as Eriodictyon, Santa Yerba, in Nevada). Shape is usually elongate and boat-like for the Aleuropleurocelus or elliptical-oval for the Tetralicia.
Distribution: See list of species below.
Taxonomy [Annals ESA: vol 49: No.3 1956: 280-281] : Puparia needs to be bleached-too dark; margin deflexed slightly (Tetralicia) or meeting closer to the shortened ventral disc (Aleuropleurocelus).
Inner margin of vasiform orifice smooth or dentate; lingula usually obscured; operculum covers from 50% (Aleuropleurocelus) to more than 70% (Tetralicia) of the vasiform orifice.
Puparia usually covered with granules or imbrications; most, but not all, posterior area pointed with apical pair of setae.
Natural Enemies:
Related genera: Aleuropleurocelus Used to be in the genus Tetralicia. Differs from this genus since Tetralicia has a dentate inner margin of the vasiform orifice and the operculum occupies at least 75% of the vasiform orifice.
