Arsenophonus is a genus of Enterobacteriaceae, of the Gammaproteobacteria.[2] Arsenophonus are an increasingly discovered symbiont of insects from a diversity of insect taxa. Arsenophonus species are usually male-killers or mutualistic endosymbionts.[3] Arsenophonus nasoniae infects the Nasonia parasitic wasps.[4] Up to now there is only one species of this genus known (Arsenophonus nasoniae).[1]
