Experiments with several clones of Diplosoma ljsten'anum (Mllne Edwards) maintained in culture indicated that the majority produced sexual progeny (larvae) predominantly or exclusively by cross-rather than self-fertilization.The extent of true selfing, if any, was not established.Arrested oocyte development was observed in several clones kept in reproductive isolation.Full oocyte development could b e triggered in these by placing other genetic individuals in the same container, even though the different clones were not in phys~cal contact
