The pores and associated glands on male antennae in species of   Hymenoptera   are involved in mate recognition and are diverse and widespread among taxa. However, nothing has been published about these structures in species of    Aphelinus    (  Chalcidoidea  :   Aphelinidae  ), a genus of parasitoid wasps with a long history in biological control. Images from scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ) and transmission electron microscopy ( TEM ) of    Aphelinus   varipes    revealed pores on the ventral side of the male scape that were connected to glands. A survey of the scapes of male antennae in 16 species in six species complexes of    Aphelinus   , as well as two outgroup species,    Aphytis   melinus    and    Centrodora    sp., showed that pores were present in all except    Centrodora    sp. The pores varied in several characters: the shape of the structures that carried them, pore size, elevation of the cuticle surrounding the structures, the extent of a carina delimiting the area around the structures, and the number and position of pores. The shape of the pore-bearing structures, the elevation of cuticle around these structures, and the extent of the carina around them map well onto a molecular phylogeny of these    Aphelinus    species. Combinations of pore characters are diagnostic of species complexes, and in some cases, species of    Aphelinus   .
