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.
