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 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CFFE771808FFCEFEDEFE1DFE2BB01E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body length, 3.5–4.5 mm; fore wing length, 3.5–4.5 mm. Head: eyes and ocelli small, not covering most of head; 41–44 antennomeres, all flagellomeres longer than wide; mallar space moderate, very slightly longer than basal width of mandible and about 2/3 eye height; occipital carina reaching hypostomal carina; oral space small and circular, diameter about 3/4 basal width of mandible and 2/3 face height; clypeus weakly swollen; ocelli small, ocellocular distance slightly greater than twice diameter of lateral ocellus; head entirely rugulo­coriaceous; maxillary palpus not swollen; mandibles small, tips not crossing when closed. Mesosoma: pronotum porcate laterally; mesonotum and scutellum coriaceous, notauli weakly scrobiculate, meeting posteriorly in traingular rugose ares; mesopleuron coriaceous, smooth above episternal scrobe, subalar sulcus rugulose, sternaulus absent; propodeum rugose coriaceous, median carina complete. Legs: tarsal claws not pectinate; hind coxa coriaceous dorsally. Wings: fore wing with vein r 1/2 to 2/3 length of 3RSa and m­cu, second submarginal cell often nearly square, vein r­m curiously absent on some specimens and often only on one wing, vein 1cu­a beyond 1M by distance equal to or less than length of 1cu­a, vein 1CUa 1/3 or less length of 1CUb; hind wing with vein RS slightly arched in middle, marginal cell narrowest in middle, vein 1r­m about 3/4 length of 1M, vein 1M about 2/3 length of M+CU, vein m­cu a distinct tubular vein for most of its length, about 2/3 length of 1r­m. Metasoma: appearing carapace­like, terga 1–4 often concealing following terga, terga 1–4 all rugose coriaceous, remainder of visible terga smooth, median carina complete on terga 1–3, groove between terga 2 and 3 deep and scrobiculate; ovipositor less than 1/2 length of hind basitarsus.</p><p>Male.—Essentially as in female except all coxae dark brown or black.</p><p>Holotype.—Female: ONTARIO, Gogama, 1 km SE Jct. Hwys. 144 &amp; 560, June 15– 18, 1988, reared, K. Barber &amp; D. Hamilton, jack pine plantation, Vaccinium angustifolium; host, Itame brunneata (Thunb.) . Deposited in CNC.</p><p>Paratypes.—ONTARIO, 13 females, 12 males, same data as holotype with additional dates of June 2–7, 1988. WISCONSIN: 1 female, 1 male, Jackson Co., T21N, R4W, S27, May 14–27, 1975, Gypsy moth m.t.; 14 males, Bayfield Co., T46N, R9W, S16, May 12– June 3, 1975, Gypsy moth m.t.; 1 female, Oneida Co., T35N, R11E, S17, May 20–28, 1975, Gypsy moth m.t.; 3 males, Fond du Lac Co., T31N, R19E, S23, July 29–August 5, 1975, Gypsy moth m.t. Deposited in CNC, RMSEL, USNM, AEI.</p><p>Distribution.—Known only from the type localities in Ontario and Wisconsin.</p><p>Biology.—Reared from the geometrid Itame brunneata (Thunberg) .</p><p>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.</p><p>Etymology.—The specific name is from the name of the host, Itame, and the Latin voro meaning to eat, devour.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CFFE771809FFC8FEDEFDA5FD82B611	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The host caterpillars feed on various coniferous trees including pitch pine, scrub pine, firs, hemlocks, spruces, and larch.</p><p>Comments.—This species is generally similar to itamevorus but is distinguished by the weak vein m­cu in the hind wing and the costate­rugose metasomal terga.</p><p>Etymology.—The specific name is from the Latin maritimus meaning "of the sea" in reference to the distribution of most of the type series in the maritime provinces of Canada.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CFFE77180FFFCAFEDEFEE5FAFEB379	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
