Life cycle

edit

As in all Hymenoptera, sex-determination in species of the genus Andricus is governed by haplodiploidy: males develop from unfertilized eggs and are haploid, and females develop from fertilized eggs and are diploid.[2]

Many species in the genus alternate between an asexual generation and a sexual generation.[3][4]

Species

edit

The taxonomy of the genus Andricus is uncertain, with many of the approximately 375 species considered dubious.[5] The following species are currently recognised in the genus Andricus:[6][7][8][9]
