title: [The characteristics of embryogenesis and oogenesis in Adalia bipunctata L. and Harmonia axyridis Pall. beetles in all-female families].
abstract: We describe abnormal embryonic development leading to death of 50% of embryos in all-female lines of Adalia and Harmonia infected with an androcide Spiroplasma. The arrest of embryonic development takes place at different stages throughout embryogenesis. Oogenesis of the infected beetles proceeds without any significant morphological changes.
