Diagnosis.
Adult (
Fig. 4
) with wingspan 12.0−13.0 mm. This species is characterized by the forewing pattern which features a black submedian patch originating from the basal 1/3 of the dorsum. The male genitalia of
A. pulverula
are similar to those of
A. oxystaura
(
Meyrick, 1935
)
, but they can be distinguished by the aedeagus abruptly narrowed in distal 1/4 and absence of cornuti in the male genitalia (
Fig. 9
); and the ductus bursae about the same length as the corpus bursae in the female genitalia (
Fig. 15
). In
A. oxystaura
the aedeagus is abruptly narrowed in the distal 1/3 and bears four deciduous cornuti; and the ductus bursae is about 1/3 the length of the corpus bursae.
Andrioplecta pulverula
is also extremely similar to
A. shoreae
Komai, 1992
, and the differences between them are noted under the latter species.
Hosts.
The larvae have been found mainly galls of gall wasps (
Hymenoptera
:
Cynipidae
) on
Castanea
and
Quercus
(Fagaceae)
, feeding on the larvae of gall wasps (
Komai 1999
).
Distribution.
