Aleuritopteris is a genus of ferns in the Cheilanthoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae.[1][3] As with some other genera of the Cheilanthoideae, molecular phylogenetic studies have suggested that it is not monophyletic,[1] and so may need to be circumscribed differently in future.

Taxonomy
editAleuritopteris is one of a number of genera split off from Cheilanthes in some approaches,[2] including the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), in which the genus has about 40 species.[1] As of August 2019[update], Plants of the World Online includes Aleuritopteris within Hermionitis,[4] a much smaller Cheilanthoideae genus in PPG I.[1] Allosorus was recognized as a separate genus in PPG I, but was included in Aleuritopteris by the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World as of January 2020[update] on the grounds that it was wrongly lectotypified.[2]
