Florida Entomologist 90 (4), 776-779
Abstract: Wolbachia is associated with thelytokous reproduction in D. aligarhensis. Male D. aligarhensis were produced following antibiotic treatment of females in a thelytokous colony. The males lacked Wolbachia, were morphologically distinguishable from females, and exhibited mating behavior.
