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’.
