Insemination Capability of Male Pteromalus Venustus (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), a Gregarious Parasitoid of Megachile Rotundata (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) by V. J. Tepedino

“…Inseminative ability in Pteromalus venusus, an arrhenotokous parasitoid presumed to have evolved under Local Mate Competition, was studied by recording the progeny production of a series of six virgin females presented to males at hourly intervals. Most males did not reach the upper limits of their inseminative abilities: Three-quarters of the males inseminated at least four females, twice the ratio of females-to-males in an average brood (2:1). …”
