Gherna et al., 1991, single species of the genus.
A second species has been proposed for the genus: Candidatus Arsenophonus triatominarum (not valid).

Gram negative rods, highly filamentous, 6.9-10 µm x 0.4-0.5 µm, non-motile.
Colonies have 2 to 3 mm in diameter, irregular and raised with an undulate margin,
light brown pigmentation. Incubation temperature 15-35 °C (optimum 30 °C, may
require microaerobic conditions. Grow at pH 6.2–8.7 (optimum pH 7.4–8.0).
BHI medium (brain heart infusion), MM agar.

Isolated from wasp Nasonia vitripennis.
Is a maternally inherited agent that causes lethality of male embryos of infected females in the parasitic wasp Nasonia vitripennis.
