There are no males (extremely rare); females reproduce by mitotic parthenogenesis; the somatic chromosome number is 20 (Roman and Triantaphyllou, 1969). .In mitotic parthenogenesis there is no fertilization and there is mitotic division of oogonia so that the somatic number of chromosomes is preserved throughout.
