i5K Comments for Orussus abietinus
Parasitoids; haploid males are aimed to sequence; genome can be sequenced from a single individual. Inferring changes associated with transition from phytophagous to parasitoid life history. ESTs will be sequenced within the 1KITE project. Suitable genetic material can be provided by the ZFMK, Bonn. genome can likely be sequenced from single haploid male; sister group of megadiverse Apocrita; allows inferring the genome of the first parasitic Hymenoptera; ESTs will be sequenced within 1KITE project; suitable genetic material can be provided by the ZFMK; genome size estimates can be conducted by Flow Cytometry upon request Oliver Niehuis

Orussidae are most likely the sister lineage of Apocrita (= Hymenoptera with wasp waist - the conspicuous constriction between the first and second abdominal segment). The most recent common ancestor of Orussidae and Apocrita evolved a parasitoid life history.
