Abstract

The genus Aleurodiscus s.l. in Patagonia is revised and ten species are reported, commented on, and illustrated. Aleurodiscus bernicchiae, A. corticola, A. hallenbergii, A. quilae, and A. stratosus, are proposed as new. Aleurodiscus parmuliformis is recorded for the first time out of New Zealand. A key to the species of Aleurodiscus from Patagonia is included.
