Abstract: Ovomermis sinensis Chen et al. is a potentially valuable natural enemy of insect pests. Sexual differentiation in this species is dependent on nutrition during a critical period of development. This paper introduces progress in research in molecular genetics related to the sexual differentiation and sexual development, physiology and biochemistry of this species during this period, and its molecular systematics. In addition, suggestions are made for future research on O. sinensis.
