8C3A49BA7DB4F23EDA71CB5D6EC16EBD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species resembles the North American species Aleiodes politiceps and melanopodus Marsh and Shaw, 1999, both on body colour and the coarse sculpture on th e metasoma, but it can be readily distinguished by the bright yellow spot on pterostigmal area of fore wing, as in flavistigma. In the key to North American species it will run to Aleiodes melanopterus, from which can be distinguished by the shorter ovipositor and smooth face sculpturing. It is also the only South American species without a black metasoma.	en	Shimbori, Eduardo Mitio, Penteado-Dias, Angelica Maria (2011): Taxonomic contribution to the Aleiodes melanopterus (Erichson) species-group (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Rogadinae) from Brazil.
