EXOMALOPSIS

EXOMALOPSIS

BRUESI
COCKERELL
DIAGNOSIS: This species agrees almost completely with the description of
Exomalopsis auropilosa
above, including the short subatrium. The only apparent differences are in the length of the antennal papilla, which is about half that of its diameter and in the cuspal teeth that are slightly longer and more sharply pointed. As in
Exo. auropilosa
the mandibular apex is distinctly trifid.
MATERIAL STUDIED: One postdefecating larva and two predefecating larva:
