L.—a newly recorded host plant.
Mine.
(
Fig. 45
) Several (up to eight) larvae together
form one
large whitish-brown blotch mine. Pupation takes place outside the mine.
Puparium.
(
Figs. 46–48
) Reddish-brown, glossy,
2.5 mm
long, with deep segmentation; surface quite smooth except for wide black spine bands. Posterior spiracles set on stout conical protuberances entirely strongly separate; orange, with five hook-like bulbs set in a circular configuration: three (smaller) located dorsally and two (larger) ventrally. Anal plate distinctly protruding above the surface of the puparium viewed from the side and directed ventrally.
Cephalopharyngeal skeleton.
(
Fig. 349
) Right mouthhook much larger than the left, both with ventro-anterior portion distinctly abducted. The right mouthhook bears two sharp accessory teeth and the left hook bears one tooth. Parastomal bar short, curved dorso-anteriorly. Intermediate sclerite wide and short, 0.8× as long as maximum height of left mouthhook. The mouthhook, intermediate sclerite and dorso-anterior portion of the pharyngeal sclerite are strongly sclerotized, posterior half of the dorsal cornu and the ventral cornu much less so. The ventral cornu bears a small “closed” window. Indentation index 83.
Female head.
(
Figs. 350, 351
) Brown, with antenna and face black; orbit not projecting above eye in profile; 2 orb s, 4 fr s; lunule low, narrow reaching the level of the anterior fr s; pped small, rounded; gena medially 0.15× as high as maximum height of eye.
Female genitalia.
(
Figs. 352–354
) Capsule of spermatheca relatively small, 0.15× as high as height of anterior part of oviscape. Proctiger relatively wide, 2.62× as long as maximum width; cylindrical in posterior half narrowing dramatically and bearing an X-shaped well sclerotized appendage anteriorly. Surface of the posterior half covered with numerous fine spines. Posterior margin of proctiger flattened; cercus relatively wide and acute apically. Spermathecae unequal in size, dark brown, torus-shaped, without basal collar. Capsule of spermatheca 0.47× as high as maximum width. Spermathecal duct weakly sclerotized.
