Abstract
Mated females of the sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola (Coquillett) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), produce exclusively either male or female progenies. Unmated females deposit few eggs and produce no offspring. Production of single-sex progeny was not due to differential larval mortality of one sex.
