Diagnosis:
Head about as wide as mesoscutum, widely separated from prothorax (
Fig. 70
); hind margin strongly concave; lateral ocelli raised on tubercles; genal processes short, broad, subtruncate, peg-like, with long pubescence; separated with a U-shaped gap (
Fig. 36
), with a small dorsoapical tubercular swelling. Clypeus prominent with two apical setae. Antennae 1.5–2.5 times longer than head width; terminal setae subequal and pointed. Forewing acutely pointed apically (
Fig. 58
), with point outside m1; vein M+Cu1 present, greatly reduced; often with a dark stripe along veins R+M+Cu1 and base of R. Meracanthus large and pointed; metatibia with genual spine and with 2–4+(3–4) apical spurs.
Biology and damage:
Immatures of
Triozoida limbata
(Enderlein)
, covered in wax and producing honeydew, develop inside roll leaf galls on
Psidium guajava
(Myrtaceae)
. Further damage turn leaves yellow or reddish and subsequently become necrotic (
Gallo
et al.
2002
).
Host-plants:
Myrtaceae (
Hodkinson 1989
)
.
Distribution:
Central
and
South
