Conspecifics of a heterotrophic heteronomous species of Strepsiptera (Insecta) are matched by molecular characterization
The family Myrmecolacidae (Strepsiptera) exhibit the unusual phenomenon of sexually dimorphic host relationships known as heterotrophic heteronomy, whereby males parasitize ants and females parasitize grasshoppers, crickets and mantids. It has therefore been impossible phenotypically to match male M...
