Resumen:
The parasitoid G. bonaerensis holds Wolbachia endosymbiont, which seems to controls the wasp´s reproduction in the nature turning it into a telitokous species. The symbiont was identified as the Wolbachia sp. wRi strain. The cure of infected unfertilized females determined the normal arrhenotokous parthenogenesis and the production of male offspring. As a consequence of this procedure, the male of G. bonaerensis is described for the first time
