Hind wing vein RS sinuate, marginal cell narrowest in middle; ocelli small, diameter of lateral ocellus less than ocell­ocular distance; vertex usually transversely rugose; fourth metasomal tergum usually sculptured, sometimes metasomal terga 1–4 partially carapace­like.</p><p>Comments. The species in this group all have the fourth metasomal tergum sculptured, a few being coriaceous but most being rugose or costate at least on basal half. In a few cases the first four terga are carapace­like and similar to the “genus” Tetrasphaeropyx Ashmead. A previous phylogenetic study concluded that Tetrasphaeropyx is merely a distinctive lineage derived from within the A. coxalis species­group, although it has not yet been formally synonymized under Aleiodes . Tetrasphaeropyx is now known to be a highly diverse lineage with many currently undescribed species. One of us (JCF) is currently revising the Tetrasphaeropyx lineage, so we will leave it to him to decide on the usage of the name.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A887F60137FFDE6F0AA281F9045BCF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Known mostly from localities in eastern Wyoming and Colorado. There is one record from western Nebraska.</p><p>Biology. Adult wasps fly from late May to early October in the foothills and subalpine meadows of the mountains of southeastern Wyoming and northern Colorado. The host caterpillar remains unknown.</p><p>Comments. This species is similar to A. shenefelti, also from Wyoming, but differs by its shorter antennae. This species is probably the most abundant Aleiodes in southeastern Wyoming. It has been collected by a variety of methods including by net, aspirator, Malaise trap, yellow pans, and at ultraviolet lights. While quite common in the mountains and foothills, it has also been collected at a light on a back porch in Laramie, at high elevation on a snow drift, and it has even flown into the open window of a mini­van. In June it can be easily observed walking on pine shoots (where it may be feeding on pollen). Despite the relative abundance of this wasp species, its host caterpillar has remained elusive. One of us (SRS) has conducted field research in the Medicine Bow National Forest near Laramie for the last 17 years, and despite numerous attempts at rearing potential host caterpillars, the species has not yet been successfully reared. Hopefully the publication of this scientific name will encourage others to work on this problem, and eventually we can discover its host range.</p><p>Etymology. Named for the locality of most of the type­series in southeastern Wyoming.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A887F6012FFFC16F0AA489F9FD5C43	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
