Venturia is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.^[1]

The genus has cosmopolitan distribution.^[1]

Among the species in the genus are:^[1]

Venturia ahlensis Maheshwary, 1977
Venturia altia (Morley, 1913)
Venturia aurantia ^[2]
Venturia biroi ^[2]
Venturia canescens (Gravenhorst, 1829)
Venturia contiguus ^[3]
Venturia crassicaput (Morley, 1926)^[2]
Venturia inclyta (Morley, 1923)^[3]
Venturia himachala Gupta & Maheshwary, 1977 ^[3]
Venturia levocarinata ^[3]
Venturia liuae ^[3]
Venturia mortifera Vas, 2020^[4]
Venturia peringueyi (Cameron, 1906)^[2]
Venturia serpentina Maheshwary, 1977^[3]
Venturia yunnanensis ^[3]

Parthenogenetic reproduction

Venturia canescens can produce haploid males from unfertilized eggs (arrhenotoky), a form of parthenogenesis.^[5] Females may also produce diploid female offspring by thelytoky, a type of parthenogenesis that involves the production of female progeny in the absence of mating.^[5]
