Description

The genome sequence and assembly of a parasitoid wasp, Chelonus insularis. Chelonus is a wasp genus in the subfamily Cheloninae. Their larvae feed chiefly on larvae of moths in superfamilies Tortricoidea and Pyraloidea. This wasp is an important egg parasitoid of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, one of the main insect pests of maize (Zea mays L.)

The work was funded by "RoL: Collaborative Research: When a pathogen becomes a mutualist: discovery, evolution and rules that govern function and acquisition in wasp-viral symbiosis" (Grant ID DEB-1916788, National Science Foundation).
