Arrhenotokously reproducing Hymenoptera and Acarina include many important natural enemies. This reproductive system offers the opportunity of selection on hemizygous (.male..male.), with the attendant advantages of an unmasked genotype fully exposed to selection, increased frequency of genotypes expressing rare genes, and enhanced discrimination of characters, in all .male. populations produced by virgin (.female..female.). Increased selection intensity and reduced genetic drift may offer additional advantages. The method is limited to characters displayed by (.female..female.), and may require labor-intensive techniques and species-specific research. The method has been shown to be practicable with Aphytis holoxanthus DeBach (Hymenoptera:Aphelinidae), an important parasite of the Florida red scale, Chrysomphalus aonidum (L.) (Homoptera:Diaspididae).
