Aleiodes (Greek ἀ "not", λείος "smooth", εἵδος "appearance") is a genus of the family Braconidae of parasitoid wasps described by Constantin Wesmael in 1838. They are also known as mummy-wasps. The female feeds on the caterpillars of various species, including many pests such as Gypsy moths and tent caterpillars, and then deposits eggs and wraps the prey in a “mummy”. The larva and pupa feed on the caterpillar, and the adult breaks out, leaving the wrapping behind.
There are thousands of species, including these:
- Aleiodes cacuangoi named after Dolores Cacuango
- Aleiodes colberti named after Stephen Colbert
- Aleiodes coxalis
- Aleiodes elleni named after Ellen DeGeneres
- Aleiodes falloni named after Jimmy Fallon
- Aleiodes frosti named after Robert Frost (American poet)
- Aleiodes gaga named after Lady Gaga
- Aleiodes heterogaster type species of genus
- Aleiodes kingmani named after Eduardo Kingman
- Aleiodes shakirae named after Shakira (Colombian singer)
- Aleiodes stewarti named after Jon Stewart (American comedian)
