Viscera denotes the organs in the body cavities. (The heart confined in the Pericardial cavity, the lungs in the Pleural cavity, and the abdominal organs in the Peritoneal cavity). Visceral membrane (visceral serosa) covers those organs. More info could be find on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serosa
The parietal pleura is actually an example of a parietal membrane, not a visceral membrane. Visceral membranes cover organs, while parietal membranes line body cavities. In the case of the pleura, the parietal pleura lines the chest cavity and the visceral pleura covers the lungs.

The visceral peritoneum covers the abdominal cavity. It essentially forms a serous membrane lining around the abdominal cavity and supports the organs and blood vessels.

The membrane which immediately covers the lungs is the visceral pleura.

Parietal membrane is the lining of a body cavity. Visceral membrane is the covering of each organ in a body cavity.

visceral pleura
The pericardium is the membrane that is constructed of a visceral and parietal layer. The visceral layer is in direct contact with the heart, while the parietal layer lines the outer surface of the pericardial sac. This double-layered membrane protects and lubricates the heart.
the membrane on the surface of the lung is called the parietal pleura, but the membrance that lines the lungs themselves are called the visceral pleura.
