Hindaleyrodes
Meganathan and David, 1994
Meganathan and David (1994)
erected the genus
Hindaleyrodes
Meganathan and David, 1994
with
Hindaleyrodes hindustanicus
as the
type
species, distinguishing it from
Aleuroclava
by its 12 pairs of submarginal setae, the dorsum with minute pores and porettes and abdominal segment VII shorter than VIII.
Martin and Mound (2007)
synonymised the genus with
Aleuroclava
but did not comment on their reasoning. The
type
species is unusual in that it has 12 pairs of submarginal setae which are lacking in almost all of the other
Aleuroclava
species.
