Japaneyrodes Zahradnik, 1962

Zahradnik (1962) erected the genus Japaneyrodes Zahradnik, 1962 with Aleurotuberculatus trachelospermi Takahashi, 1938 as the type species, distinguishing it from Aleurotuberculatus by the absence of a submarginal suture and of cephalic tubercles. Mound and Halsey (1978, p. 340) synonymised Japaneyrodes with Aleurotuberculatus , stating that ‘in the genus Aleurotuberculatus , both these characters are variable. It is possible that Aleuroclava is the oldest available name for this group but the type-species of that genus is known only from the inadequate original description’.
