COMMENTS. This species is readily distinguishable from the other species of Aleurocerus by virtue of its characteristically notched marginal teeth. A. ceriferus in Belize clearly favours species of Piper as its host plants. The author also found this species to be extremely common in Panamá, where it colonised several host plant families.
