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). Dorsum.  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.

Similar genera: Aleuropleurocelus Used to be in the genus Tetralicia.  Differs biogeographically: Aleuropleurocelus is known from the Western Hemisphere; whereas Tetralicia is primarily known from the Palaearctic.
