Aletes has been regarded a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, all of which are endemic to North America.[1][2] (As of December 2022), Plants of the World Online regarded Aletes as a synonym of Cymopterus,[3] while GRIN Taxonomy regarded it as a possible synonym of that genus.[4]

Species that may be placed in the genus include the following (placements in Cymopterus from Plants of the World Online):[5]

  • Aletes acaulis (Torr.) J.M.Coult. & Rose - stemless Indian parsley → Cymopterus hallii
  • Aletes filifolius Mathias, Constance & W.L.Theobald - Trans-Pecos Indian parsley → Cymopterus filifolius
  • Aletes humilis J.M.Coult. & Rose - Colorado aletes
  • Aletes macdougalii J.M.Coult. & Rose - MacDougal's Indian parsley → Cymopterus macdougalii
  • Aletes sessiliflorus W.L.Theobald & C.C.Tseng - sessileflower Indian parsley → Cymopterus sessiliflorus
