Material examined.
Italy, Matera Province, 40°20.080'N 16°18.414'E,
12.VI.2010
, 1 exuvia of mature larva parasitizing
Laburrus quadratus
(Forel, 1864) (Cicadellidae)
.
Description, exuvia.
Labrum probably with similar chaetotaxy as in the two species treated above. About 7–8 long bristles visible in position near the anterior margin (
Fig. 16C
). Mandibles (
Fig. 16A
) pointed, without additional teeth. Labium triangular, spinneret narrow (
Fig. 16B
). Bristles on head, thorax, and abdomen numerous and long (
Fig. 16D
). Spiracles of thorax and abdomen similar to those of the two other
Anteoninae
species studied (
Figs 16E–16G
).
Remarks.
The immature larva was found on prothorax of
Laburrus quadratus
. The cocoon was built in the soil and covered with small particles of river sand (
Fig. 16H
).
