TERATOGNATHA MODESTA
OGLOBLIN
The single available pupa of this species, a female, is almost indistinguishable from that of
Chilimalopsis parvula
.
The basitibial plates appear to have a more uneven (varicose) surface than those of
C. parvula
,
and, although the metanotum is produced near the midline, it appears to be a single central swelling. Furthermore, the subapical rows of tergal spines appear to rise from somewhat more pronounced and elevated tubercles.
MALE DESCRIPTION: Unknown.
