Etymology.

Aleiodes alvarougaldei is named in honor of Alvaro Ugalde’s (RIP) long-appreciated contributions to publicity for ACG and GDFCF.

Note.

A second specimen in the same BIN on BOLD (BIOUG01036-F12) was collected in Ontario, Canada and identified as A. wyomingensis Shaw & Marsh, 2006, however the holotype of A. wyomingensis has a bicolored stigma and differs morphologically in other ways. Although placed in the same BIN the two specimens are not likely to be conspecific. The Canadian specimen has a similar color but is far more robust in the body and appendages than A. alvarougaldei .
