03CFFE771808FFCEFEDEFE1DFE2BB01E.taxon	discussion	Comments. — The species in this group all have the fourth metasomal tergum with sculpturing, a few with this part coriaceous but most with it rugose or costate at least on basal half. In a few cases the first four terga are carapace­like as in the genus Tetrasphaeropyx Ashmead. These species are morphologically intermediate in this trait between Aleiodes and Tetrasphaeropyx, suggesting that the latter genus should be synonymized with Aleiodes.	en	Shaw, Scott R., Marsh, Paul M.

03CFFE771809FFC8FEDEFDA5FD82B611.taxon	discussion	Comments. — This species is similar to maritimus new species but is easily distinguished from this and most other species by the distinct tubular vein m­cu in the hind wing. Both itamevorus and maritimus are morphologically similar to the Tetrasphaeropyx group of species but, although itamevorus has a carapace­like metasoma and relative long vein r in the fore wing, it does not have a complete carapace as in the type species, Tetraspheropyx pilosus. In this species we also see an example of the variability in wing venation that sometime occurs in Braconidae. In some specimens vein r­m of the fore wing is missing or only partially present. This variation may occur in only one wing or in both.	en	Shaw, Scott R., Marsh, Paul M.
