Parthenogenesis and Heterogamy.—In certain insects, partheno- genesis, , spontaneous development of unfertilized ova, has been shown to obtain ; this occurs in the Psychidce (Psyche), TineiJo- (Solenobia), Coccidce (Lecanium, Aspidiotus) and Chermes; also in numerous Hymenop- tera, especially in Bees, Wasps, Cynipidce, and Tenthredinidce (Nematus). In the Hymenoptera which live together in the so-called animal communities, male forms only are produced from the unfer- tilized ova, (arrentokia). Chermes affords an example of Heterogamy, in that two different oviparous generations follow one another; a slender and winged generation, and an apterous. summer.
