The Aleiodes bakeri (Brues) species subgroup of the A. seriatus species group is defined based on two previously described species, A. bakeri and A. nigristemmaticum (Enderlein), and is greatly expanded in this paper with an identification key, descriptions, and illustrations of 18 new species from the Neotropical Region: A. andinus Shaw & Shimbori, sp. nov.; angustus Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; asenjoi Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; bahiensis Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; barrosi Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; brevicarina Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; coariensis Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; goiasensis Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; gonodontivorus Shaw & Shimbori, sp. nov.; hyalinus Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; inga Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; joaquimi Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; lidiae Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; mabelae Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; maculosus Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; ovatus Shimbori & Shaw, sp. nov.; santarosensis Shaw & Shimbori, sp. nov.; and taurus Shimbori & Penteado-Dias, sp. nov. It is hypothesized that the A. bakeri species subgroup is a monophyletic lineage within the larger and probably artificial A. seriatus species group (those Aleiodes with a comb of flat setae at the apex of the hind tibia), and can be distinguished from other members of the seriatus group by having the hind wing vein r present, although weakly indicated; the hind wing marginal cell suddenly widened at junction of veins RS and r; the subbasal cell of the fore wing mostly glabrous but often with two rows of short setae subapically; glabrous regions of the wings also commonly found in the first subdiscal, discal, and basal cells of the fore wing, and the basal cell of hind wing; ocelli quite large, with the width of a lateral ocellus being distinctly larger than the ocellar-ocular distance; and being relatively large Aleiodes species with body almost entirely brownish yellow or reddish brown. In addition, a new replacement name, Aleiodes buntikae Shimbori & Shaw, nom. nov., is proposed for the species formerly called Aleiodes (Hemigyroneuron) bakeri Butcher & Quicke, 2011.

Female. unknown. Paratypes. 3 ♂ Same date and location as holotype. Deposited in USNM. Biology. Host unknown Distribution. Known only from type location in Okanogan County. Washington. Comments. Aleiodes quasiburrus is similar in appearance to males of A. burrus Cresson and to A. harrimani (Ashmead). It can be distinguished from A. burrus by the first metasomal tergite with distinct costae rather than entirely rugose as in A. burrus, and by the absence of a complete median carina on the propodeum in contrast to median carina complete in A. burrus. A quasiburrus can be distinguished from A. harrimani by long malar space, twice as long as mandible basal width as opposed to shorter malar space in A. harrimani, and all legs with black coxa and trochanter as opposed to only hind coxa black in A. harrimani. Etymology. The specific name is from the Latin quasi for "similar to" and burrus, which is the specific name for an Aleiodes species to which this species is most similar., Published as part of Fortier, Joseph, 2021, Aleiodes (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Rogadinae) diversity in Washington U.

The most common host caterpillar for this species is Helia argentipes (Walker) (Erebidae, Erebinae) [7-SRNP-42758, 42751, 42801, 42836], but there are also records from Epitausa dilina (Herrich-Schäffer) (Erebidae, Eulepidotinae) [7-SRNP-34415], feeding on Inga edulis and I. oerstediana (Fabaceae), and Letis mycerina (Cramer) [10-SRNP-65094] (Erebidae) feeding on Inga oerstediana. A database record from caterpillars of the Área de Conservación Guanacaste (http://janzen.sas.upenn.edu) of Rosema deolis (Cramer) (Notodontidae) [7-SRNP-42756] is refuted based on the morphology of the accompanying mummy. Distribution. This species is only known from northwest Costa Rica. Etymology. The name is a reference to Inga, a genus of small tropical trees in the Fabaceae family and the recorded host plant for some Erebidae host caterpillars of this new species., Published as part of Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M. & Penteado-Dias, Angelica M., 2020, A revision of the Aleiodes bakeri (Brues) species subgroup of the A. seriatus species group with the descriptions of 18 new species from the Neotropical Region, pp. 41-107 in ZooKeys 964 on page 41, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.964.56131

Body length 5.6-6.6 mm; fore wing length 4.3-5.4 mm; antenna with 48-50 segments. Diagnosis. The color patterns, body proportions, and other features of Aleiodes bakeri are similar to those in A. nigristemmaticum (Enderlein). The most useful characters to distinguish them are the occipital carina, which is incomplete at the vertex in bakeri (Fig. 24) but is complete in nigristemmaticum, and the hind wing venation, with vein M+CU being more than 2 × longer than 1M in bakeri (Fig. 23), as compared with ~ 1.5 × longer in nigristemmaticum. Specimens of A. nigristemmaticum have the antenna dark brown basally, lightening toward apex, as compared with entirely honey yellow in A. bakeri (Fig. 22). Three of the new species, A. angustus, A. asenjoi, and A. mabelae, also have a dorsally incomplete occipital carina. Two of these, A. angustus and A. asenjoi, are easily distinguished by having the fore wing vein 1a present (as in Fig. 1), while this vein is absent in A. bakeri (Fig. 2). Aleiodes mabelae can be distinguished by its longer fore wing second submarginal cell (Fig. 64) and the flagellum which is black at the base (Fig. 64). The second submarginal cell is comparatively shorter in A. bakeri (Figs 2, 23), and the flagellum is entirely the same color, yellow or orange, without being black basally (Fig. 22). Distribution. Aleiodes bakeri is known from localities in Brazil and Peru. Nomenclatural note. Butcher and Quicke (2011) synonymized Hemigyroneuron Baker as a junior synonym of Aleiodes but retained Hemigyroneuron as a subgenus. The species Aleiodes (Hemigyroneuron) bakeri Butcher & Quicke, 2011 is not the same species as Aleiodes bakeri (Brues, 1912). Despite its assignment to a different subgenus, Aleiodes bakeri Butcher & Quicke, 2011 is a junior homonym of Aleiodes bakeri (Brues, 1912) and a replacement name is needed. There we hereby propose the new name, Aleiodes buntikae Shimbori & Shaw, nom. nov., for the species formerly called Aleiodes (Hemigyroneuron) bakeri Butcher & Quicke, 2011: p. 1417. The new name is a patronym in honor of Buntika Areekul-Butcher, author of the species formerly called Aleiodes (Hemigyroneuron) bakeri., Published as part of Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M. & Penteado-Dias, Angelica M., 2020, A revision of the Aleiodes bakeri (Brues) species subgroup of the A. seriatus species group with the descriptions of 18 new species from the Neotropical Region, pp. 41-107 in ZooKeys 964 on page 41, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.964.56131

These two species are easily separated by the mainly yellow body color in A. barrosi (deep reddish brown in A. joaquimi), yellow palpi and tegula (dark brown in A. joaquimi), and entirely yellow tibia and tarsi (tibia basally and tarsi 1-4 white in A. joaquimi). Additionally, the hind wing vein 2-1A is absent in A. barrosi (Fig. 28), but present in A. joaquimi (Fig. 58). Distribution. Known from localities in Brazil, Costa Rica, and Peru. Etymology. The name is a patronym for Marina Moraes Barros Lutz, one of the collectors of the holotype specimen.

Aleiodes maculosus has a complete longitudinal carina on the propodeum, whereas the propodeal carina of A. brevicarina is quite short, extending over less than half the length of the propodeum. Distribution. This species is known only from localities in Brazil. Etymology. The specific epithet maculosus is Latin for dappled or spotted, a reference to the mottled color pattern in this species (Figs 66-68).

Biology. Parasitoid of Mocis latipes (Guenée.) and Mocis spp (Erebidae, Erebinae), mostly feeding on grasses (Poaceae), including several crops. Additional details regarding biological information are given by Marsh and S.R. Shaw (1998). Distribution. USA (Florida and Mississippi); Mexico; Honduras; Cuba; Costa Rica; Venezuela; Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Panama, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Colombia, and Suriname. Its widespread distribution may be a reflection of the distribution and pest status of the host, which feeds on grasses, as well as crops such as corn and rice.

In A. gonodontivorus the vein 3RSa is at most 1.7 × longer than 2RS (Fig. 44), and the longitudinal carina of propodeum is nearly complete. Distribution. This species is known only from the type-locality in Brazil. Etymology. The name is from the Latin word taurus meaning bull, being a reference to the collecting locality. The holotype was collected in a forest fragment at the research station of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation - EMBRAPA, formerly a farm named Fazenda Canchim, in which a breed of beef cattle was developed, the Canchim, between 1940 and 1970. This area now comprises one of the largest remaining fragments of forest in the municipality of São Carlos., Published as part of Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M. & Penteado-Dias, Angelica M., 2020, A revision of the Aleiodes bakeri (Brues) species subgroup of the A. seriatus species group with the descriptions of 18 new species from the Neotropical Region, pp. 41-107 in ZooKeys 964 on page 41, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.964.56131

Aleiodes ovatus is similar to A. brevicarina and A. maculosus in having a whitish yellow hind tibia with dark brown apex (as in Figs 29, 66, 73). Aleiodes ovatus can be distinguished from both species by the oval infuscate spot on fore wing (Fig. 75). In the other two species dark coloration is present only along the veins (Figs 32, 66) and does not form a large spot. Also distinctive for A. ovatus is the mostly light yellow head with a dark brown vertex (except for orbits) (Fig. 74), whereas in A. brevicarina and A. maculosus the vertex does not have any dark brown markings (Figs 30, 67). Distribution. This species is known only from localities in Brazil. Etymology. The name ovatus is Latin for oval or egg-shaped, being a reference to the distinctive oval marking on the fore wing in this species (Fig. 77)., Published as part of Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M. & Penteado-Dias, Angelica M., 2020, A revision of the Aleiodes bakeri (Brues) species subgroup of the A. seriatus species group with the descriptions of 18 new species from the Neotropical Region, pp. 41-107 in ZooKeys 964 on page 41, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.964.56131

Aleiodes hyalinus is most similar to A. santarosensis, but its wings are entirely subhyaline with all veins honey yellow to light brown, without distinct darker regions (Fig. 50). By contrast, the wings are tinged with yellow and with dark markings in A. santarosensis (Figs 76, 78). The body is brownish orange or reddish brown in A. hyalinus (Fig. 48), as opposed to being entirely yellow in A. santarosensis (Figs 76, 77). The ovipositor sheath is mostly dark brown to black in A. hyalinus (Fig. 48), as opposed to being light brown in A. santarosensis (Fig. 76), and the basal cell is evenly setose in A. hyalinus (Fig. 50), while in A. santarosensis the basal cell has a large bare area entirely lacking setae (Fig. 78). Distribution. Aleiodes hyalinus is known only from localities in Brazil. Etymology. The name hyalinus is Latin for glass-like or clear being a reference to the lack of coloration in the wings of this species.

Distribution. Aleiodes goiasensis is known only from central Brazil. Etymology. The name refers to Goiás, a state in mid-west Brazil, and the type locality for this new species., Published as part of Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M. & Penteado-Dias, Angelica M., 2020, A revision of the Aleiodes bakeri (Brues) species subgroup of the A. seriatus species group with the descriptions of 18 new species from the Neotropical Region, pp. 41-107 in ZooKeys 964 on page 41, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.964.56131

Aleiodes apicalis (Brullé, 1832) Material examined: MALTA, Wied il-Kbir, 20. xii.2014, 1 ex., from Lepidoptera larva feeding on Rumex conglomeratus which was collected in March of 2014, MZ, DMC; Torri l-Abjad, 27. xii.2005, 1 ♀, emerged from unidentified Lepidoptera larva feeding on Lactuca, MZ, DMC [parasitoids determined by Mark Shaw; hosts determined by Michael Zerafa]. Notes: This species was recorded from Malta by Papp (2015) as Aleiodes (Aleiodes) ductor var. reticulator (Nees, 1834). Although this species has been widely misidentified as a form of A. ductor, its correct name is A. apicalis. It is a koinobiont endoparasitoid of plusiine noctuids, and may even be restricted to Autographa gamma (Linnaeus). On reviewing the above-mentioned material, it was noted that they had both emerged from a lepidopteran larval mummy. The host Lepidoptera remains were both determined as certainly a plusiine noctuid, probably Autographa gamma by Mark Shaw., Published as part of Mifsud, David, Farrugia, Lucia & Shaw, Mark R., 2019, Braconid and ichneumonid (Hymenoptera) parasitoid wasps of Lepidoptera from the Maltese Islands, pp. 47-60 in Zootaxa 4567 (1) on page 58, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4567.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/2593032, {"references":["Papp, J.

Seven new species of the genus Aleiodes Wesmael, 1838 (Braconidae: Rogadinae) are described and illustrated: A. abraxanae sp. n., A. angustipterus sp. n., A. artesiariae sp. n., A. carminatus sp. n., A. diarsianae sp. n., A. leptofemur sp. n., and A. ryrholmi sp. n. A neotype is designated for each of Aleiodes circumscriptus (Nees, 1834) and A. pictus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1838), and both species are redescribed and illustrated. Aleiodes ochraceus Hellén, 1927 (not A. ochraceus (Curtis, 1834)) is renamed as A. curticornis nom. n. & stat. rev., and redescribed and illustrated. Aleiodes bistrigatus Roman, 1917, A. nigriceps Wesmael, 1838, and A. reticulatus (Noskiewicz, 1956), are re-instated as valid species. A lectotype is designated for Aleiodes bistrigatus Roman. An illustrated key is given to some distinctive species and the residual species groups along which further parts of an entire revision of western Palaearctic species of Aleiodes and Heterogamus will be organised. Biology, host associations and phenology are discussed for the keyed species (in addition to the above, A. albitibia (Herrich-Schäffer, 1838), A. apiculatus (Fahringer, 1932), A. arcticus (Thomson, 1892), A. cantherius (Lyle, 1919), A. esenbeckii (Hartig, 1834), A. jakowlewi (Kokujev, 1898), A. modestus (Reinhard, 1863), A. nigricornis Wesmael, 1838, A. pallidator (Thunberg, 1822), A. praetor (Reinhard, 1863), A. seriatus (Herrich- Schäffer, 1838) sensu lato, A. testaceus (Telenga, 1941), A. ungularis (Thomson, 1892), and A. varius (Herrich-Schäffer, 1838)) which are dealt with in full here (with the exception of A. seriatus s.l. which is, however, included in the key). The experimental methodology covering the revision as a whole, which involves some behavioural investigation, is outlined.
