Abstract: Incest breeding of Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura was observed in oak silkworn eggs at a rate up to 100%, the same was true in eggs of Dendrolimus punctatus Walker. In those eggs, the incest breeding occured at a late stage of female pupa. Arrhenotoky happened in the culture of individual female pupa. Results indicated no any adverse effect of incest breeding in successive generations on progeny vitality and development.
