Venturia (wasp)

Venturia is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.

The genus has cosmopolitan distribution.

Among the species in the genus are:
 * Venturia ahlensis Maheshwary, 1977
 * Venturia altia (Morley, 1913)
 * Venturia canescens (Gravenhorst, 1829)

Parthenogenetic reproduction
Venturia canescens can produce haploid males from unfertilized eggs (arrhenotoky), a form of parthenogenesis. Females may also produce diploid female offspring by thelytoky, a type of parthenogenesis that involves the production of female progeny in the absence of mating.
