Aleiodes accohannocki
Aleiodes accohannocki is a species of braconid wasp in the subfamily Rogadinae. The species epithet honors the Accohannock people, an indigenous group from the Chesapeake Bay region. Like other members of the genus Aleiodes, it is a parasitoid wasp that develops within host caterpillars. The species was described by Shaw and colleagues as part of extensive taxonomic work on the genus Aleiodes, which has seen many new species described from the Americas in recent decades.
Aleiodes aciculatus
Aleiodes aciculatus is a species of braconid wasp described by Ezra Cresson in 1869. It belongs to the genus Aleiodes, a large group of koinobiont endoparasitoids known for mummifying their caterpillar hosts. The species is among the earliest described members of this genus in North America. Like other Aleiodes species, it parasitizes lepidopteran larvae, though specific host records for A. aciculatus remain limited in published literature.
Aleiodes burrus
Aleiodes burrus is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae, first described by Cresson in 1869. Like other members of the genus Aleiodes, it is a koinobiont endoparasitoid of caterpillars. The species is part of a large genus containing numerous species that mummify their hosts. Specific biological details for A. burrus remain poorly documented in published literature.
Aleiodes graphicus
Aleiodes graphicus is a parasitoid wasp species in the family Braconidae, first described by Cresson in 1872. It belongs to the genus Aleiodes, commonly known as "mummy-making wasps" for their habit of mummifying host caterpillars. The species is part of a diverse group of rogadine braconids that parasitize lepidopteran larvae. Like other Aleiodes species, it is presumed to be a koinobiont endoparasitoid, developing inside living hosts before emerging.
Aleiodes laphygmae
Aleiodes laphygmae is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae, originally described by Viereck in 1912. Like other members of the genus Aleiodes, it is a koinobiont endoparasitoid that develops inside host caterpillars. The species is part of a diverse genus containing numerous recently described species from tropical regions, many of which exhibit distinctive mummification behaviors in their hosts.
Aleiodes molestus
Aleiodes molestus is a species of braconid wasp first described by Cresson in 1872. Like other members of the genus Aleiodes, this species is a koinobiont endoparasitoid that develops inside caterpillar hosts. The species belongs to a diverse group of 'mummy-making' wasps that induce characteristic behavioral and physical changes in their hosts. Very few specific details about A. molestus biology have been published in readily accessible sources.
Aleiodes pseudoterminalis
Aleiodes pseudoterminalis is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae, described by Marsh and Shaw in 2001. The species belongs to the genus Aleiodes, commonly known as mummy-making wasps due to their distinctive life history where parasitized caterpillars become desiccated and mummified. Like other members of this genus, it is presumed to be a koinobiont endoparasitoid of lepidopteran larvae, though specific host records for this species have not been documented in the available literature.
Aleiodes sanctihyacinthi
Aleiodes sanctihyacinthi is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae, originally described by Provancher in 1880. As a member of the genus Aleiodes, it is part of a diverse group known for their distinctive mummification of caterpillar hosts. The species epithet references Saint-Hyacinthe, a location in Quebec, Canada, reflecting its North American origin. Very few documented observations of this species exist in public databases.
