Aleiodes kisomm
Aleiodes kisomm is a species of braconid wasp in the subfamily Rogadinae, described by Fortier. It belongs to a genus known for 'mummy-making' behavior, where larvae parasitize caterpillars and cause them to mummify. The species is documented from a primary type specimen housed at the University of California Riverside Entomology Research Museum (UCRC ENT 79338). As with other Aleiodes species, it is presumed to be a koinobiont endoparasitoid of Lepidoptera larvae, though specific host records for this species have not been published.
