Scientific classification Edit this classification
Domain: Eukaryota

Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta

Family: Braconidae

Genus: Lysiphlebus

Lysiphlebus is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Braconidae.[1]

The genus has almost cosmopolitan distribution.[1]

Species:[1]

Reproduction

Most Lysiphlebus species are haplodiploid, like other Hymenoptera.[2] However, all-female lineages are common in some Lysiphlebus-taxa including L. fabarum, L. cardui and L. confusus.[3]

In these asexual lineages, females can reproduce by a parthenogenetic mechanism, i.e. thelytoky, that involves automixis with central fusion.[4]
