Genus Aleuropleurocelus Drews and Sampson 1956

Comments. The puparium of all known species of this genus are very dark and need to be bleached before slide mounting. The waxy secretions present on the dorsum are often difficult to remove. Description of this genus can be found in Drews and Sampson (1956) with discussion by Martin (2005). In Nevada this genus appears to be limited to plants of the arid or semi-arid areas of the chaparral community, such as Eriodictyon sp. (Yerba Santa) and desert oaks in Nevada. Of the twelve known species in Aleuropleurocelus , two described species occur in Nevada. To these are added a new species and we document one unidentified species.
