Larva
. Early or middle instar (
Fig. 2A–B
): head pale grayish brown (
Fig. 2A
, probably earlier instar) or gray (
Fig. 2B
, probably later instar); trunk and legs creamy white. Late instar (
Fig. 2C–E
): head blackish; trunk and legs creamy white, most of dorsal region brown with paired whitish lines dorsally, and supraspiracular,
epi-
pleural and hypopleural regions of each segment and two or three terminal segments blackish. Mature larva (
Fig. 2F
): entirely vivid pale green.
Host plants.
Actinidiaceae
:
Actinidia polygama
(Siebold et Zucc.) Planch. ex Maxim.
(new record).
Araceae
:
Arisaema
spp.
(
Okutani, 1967b
),
Symplocarpus renifolius
Schott ex Tzvelev.
(new record).
Balsaminaceae
:
Impatiens textorii
Miq.
(new record).
Life history
. This species has one generation a year. In lower mountains in central Honshu, the adults emerge in late April to May and the larval feeding stages are in May to June. The larva is solitary and has an extra molt on maturity before entering the soil.
Remarks.
Okutani (1967b)
recorded
Arisaema
spp.
(
Araceae
) as hosts of
Aglaostigma albicinctum
and here we newly recognize three species of three different plant families as hosts of this sawfly based on rearing. This is a polyphagous species. See
Okutani and Takeuchi (1953)
and
Okutani (1959)
for a detailed description of the larva and life history.
