8A698044D054591AA410559BA1970759.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Aleiodes andinus is similar to three other new species described in this paper, A. gonodontivorus, A. lidiae, and A. taurus, which also have a distinctly bicolored flagellum with rapid transition from dark to light color (Figs 4, 41, 59, 79). However, those three species have a fore wing basal cell that is largely glabrous (Figs 47, 63, 83) and ovipositor sheath with an apical point (Figs 46, 62, 82), whereas the basal cell of A. andinus is evenly setose (Fig. 6) and the the ovipositor sheath lacks an apical point (Fig. 5).	en	Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M., Penteado-Dias, Angelica M.

1EDA94BBC1B35F52BC5BF7903BD6220A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Aleiodes angustus is the only species in this study with long and wide ovipositor sheaths that are distinctly longer than hind basitarsus (Fig. 11). It is most similar to A. asenjoi but has the ovipositor sheaths very long and large (Figs 8, 11); the division between T 2 / T 3 is very weak and T 3 is mostly smooth and without a longitudinal carina (Fig. 10); the metasoma is compressed laterally beyond T 2 (Figs 10, 11); and the scutellum is entirely yellow. By contrast, in A. asenjoi the ovipositor sheaths are much shorter (Figs 14, 17); a division between T 2 / T 3 is present and distinct (Fig. 16); and the scutellum is usually dark brown apically. Males are more difficult to separate; however, males of A. angustus have a longer basal triangular polished area that clearly extends dorsally, as compared with strictly basally in A. asenjoi.	en	Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M., Penteado-Dias, Angelica M.

3E902BB2EE565BA3A1C35290E7D16301.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Aleiodes bahiensis is similar to A. hyalinus and A. santarosensis. These three species have the antenna entirely yellow (as in Fig. 18). Aleiodes hyalinus is easily distinguished by its entirely clear wings and evenly brown wing venation, while both A. bahiensis and A. santarosensis share similar wing markings: veins 1 M, 1 CUa, and part of 2 CUb dark brown, darker than remaining veins, and the wing membrane around these veins, and below vein 1 - 1 A apically, is weakly to distinctly infuscate (as in Fig. 19). Aleiodes bahiensis can be distinguished from A. santarosensis by having entirely yellow legs (Fig. 18), while in A. santarosensis the legs have tarsomeres 1 - 4 and at least the base of the tibia whitish yellow, contrasting with a brownish orange femur.	en	Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M., Penteado-Dias, Angelica M.

C5FC70F597B65070B9006A805236652E.taxon	diagnosis	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 x longer than 1 M in bakeri (Fig. 23), as compared with ~ 1.5 x 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 1 a 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).	en	Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M., Penteado-Dias, Angelica M.

Aleiodes barrosi is similar to A. joaquimi in that both species have the first subdiscal cell relatively long and widening apically (Figs 27, 28), and both have the vein 1 CUb 1.7 - 2.1 x longer than 1 CUa (0.9 - 1.3 x in other species). 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).

20F3F0F68ADC544498E4133BB7774A27.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Aleiodes gonodontivorus resembles A. nigristemmaticum (Enderlein) but is readily recognizable by the distinctly and abruptly contrasting bicolored antenna (Fig. 41). In A. nigristemmaticum specimens the flagellum is dark basally but becomes gradually lighter over many flagellomeres. Aleiodes gonodontivorus may also be easily distinguished by the short second submarginal cell (Fig. 44), and the fore wing vein r being distinctly longer than vein 2 RS (Fig. 44). In A. nigristemmaticum the veins r and 2 RS are of similar length. Aleiodes gonodontivorus is also similar to A. lidiae but these two species can be easily separated by the characters given in couplet 17 of the key and they are also discussed in the diagnosis for A. lidiae.	en	Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M., Penteado-Dias, Angelica M.

Aleiodes joaquimi differs from similar species with banded hind legs by its deep reddish brown color (Figs 55 - 57), absence of infuscate spots on wings (Fig. 55), hind wing vein 2 - 1 A present, although short (Fig. 58), and vein 1 CUb relatively long, ~ 1.7 times longer than vein 1 CUa (no more than 1.25 times in other species).

Aleiodes mabelae is similar to A. bakeri in having the occipital carina interrupted mid-dorsally (Fig. 65), and the vein 1 a absent from the fore wing.

F91B58437CE650ABA315C04B06C33AC0.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. 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).	en	Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M., Penteado-Dias, Angelica M.

CDBEF121A6EA50A98C91B340F12D616F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Aleiodes santarosensis is a mainly brownish yellow species, with the whole antenna brownish yellow and whitish yellow tibia and tarsi 1 - 4 (Fig. 76). This is the only species in this study with tibia basally and tarsi 1 - 4 whitish yellow but without dark brown regions on apex of hind femur and tibia (Fig. 76). It is similar to A. brevicarina, from which is can be distinguished also by the large glabrous regions on the discal and basal cells of fore wing (Fig. 78). In contrast, these cells are mostly evenly setose in A. brevicarina (Fig. 32).	en	Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M., Penteado-Dias, Angelica M.

44F22E98800C52F482188470B50EA2D3.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Aleiodes taurus is most similar to A. gonodontivorus. The main distinguishing characters are the differently shaped second submarginal cell, long and widening apically, with vein 3 RSa 2.1 x longer than vein 2 RS (Fig. 83), and the propodeum with very short longitudinal carina (Fig. 84) in A. taurus. In A. gonodontivorus the vein 3 RSa is at most 1.7 x longer than 2 RS (Fig. 44), and the longitudinal carina of propodeum is nearly complete.	en	Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M., Penteado-Dias, Angelica M.

44F22E98800C52F482188470B50EA2D3.taxon	etymology	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 Sao Carlos.	en	Shaw, Scott R., Shimbori, Eduardo M., Penteado-Dias, Angelica M.
