Anastatus disparis is a species of wasp, and an egg parasitoid. Hosts include Lymantria dispar and Antheraea pernyi.[1] The species is sexually dimorphic, with 630 sex specific genes. [2] Females have 11 antennal subsegments, whereas males have 8.[3] Females only mate once, and males are significantly shorter lived than females, engaging in agonistic behavior.[4]
