COMMENTS. As discussed in the generic diagnosis, above, the puparial characteristics of this species agree with the generic definition of
Aleurothrixus
, as interpreted here, leading to the decision to propose
Hempelia
as a junior synonym of
Aleurothrixus
. Puparia usually develop in distinct aggregations, which is a characteristic often observed in other species of
Aleurothrixus
.
Aleurothrixus
sp. 2
(Fig. 135, see Appendix 1), represented in BMNH by material from both
Belize
and
Nicaragua
, is similar to
A. chivelensis
but the marginal teeth are coarser and the vasiform orifice is surrounded by figure of characteristic shape.
