Do a search on the suject, its been covered quite a few times recently. :) , basically only a few species are parthenogenic, only one species is (nearly) exclusively parthenogenic.

Hi,

the only known obligate parthenogenetic species is Liocheles australasiae. But it might be that males are existing but haven´t been discovered yet. By using the forum search you might find some citations as fusion said.

Greetings
