Citation: Butcher BA, Smith MA, Quicke DLJ (2011) A new derived species group of Aleiodes parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Rogadinae) from Asia with descriptions of three new species. Abstract Three new species of Asian Aleiodes are described and illustrated: A. spurivena sp. n. from Vietnam, Thai-land, Nepal and India; A. spurivenaduplus sp. n. from Vietnam; A. spurivenatriplus from Western Malay-sia. The first two of these are differentiated based on the bar-coding, 5' region of the cytochrome oxidase 1 gene. All three are morphologically extremely uniform and can be recognised from other Aleiodes species by the presence of a reclivous spur arising from fore wing vein 1–1A.
