Abstract
Hymenopteran insects are a unique group of animals in which arrhenotokous reproduction (haploid males develop from unfertilized eggs) is a rule. Males produce sperm through a non-reductional maturation division. A sawfly species, Athalia rosae ruficornis Jakovlev Tenthredinidae, Symphyta, Hymenoptera) has introduced as a new experimental material for studies on genetics and developmental biology. Basic features relating to the potential usefulness of the species in elucidating some to the important genetic and developmental biological problems are described.
