Tetramesa romana, commonly known as the arundo wasp, is a species of wasp native to France and Spain.[2] As its common name implies, the species feeds on Arundo grass.[3] These wasps have been imported to North America in biological control efforts surrounding Arundo donax.[2] The species reproduces parthenogenically, with females laying eggs into the stems, resulting in developing larvae forming stem galls.[3]
