Taxonomy

''Aleuritopteris'' is one of a number of genera split off from '' Cheilanthes'' in some approaches, including the
Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group The Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group, or PPG, is an informal international group of systematic botanists who collaborate to establish a consensus on the classification of pteridophytes ( lycophytes and ferns) that reflects knowledge about plant relatio ...
classification of 2016 (PPG I), in which the genus has about 40 species. , Plants of the World Online includes ''Aleuritopteris'' within '' Hermionitis'', a much smaller Cheilanthoideae genus in PPG I. ''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'' on the grounds that it was wrongly lectotypified.
