Cyrtophorus verrucosus

Classification Diagnostic Features of Larvae
  • Larva. Form rather slender; integument thin, shining, densely covered with fine yellowish hair. Head broad in front, mouth-frame lightly corneous; labrum thick, transversely oval to suborbicular; mandible rather broad at apex, basal piece reddish-brown, one-fourth width of apical; first and second antennal joints scarcely longer than wide, first slightly shorter than second, supplementary rather long, acute; one large, white ocellus enveloped l>v the abruptly shouldered tuberculate gena; gena setose; first and second joints of maxillary palpi transverse, third much longer, equal to last labial; process of palpifer distinct. Prothorax transversely rectangular; pronotum posteriorly finely striate, shining, then granulate, no median suture; no trace of ventro-lateral suture. Legs shorter than maxillary palpus, three-jointed. Abdomen: Ampullae small, shining, granulate, indefinitely marked, but with a deep median furrow; pleural discs indistinct. Spiracle broadly oval, much smaller than ocellus, peritreme thin. Pupa: Pronotum regularly beset with erect, slender, acute chitinous points; shorter ones on mesonotum and metanotum; stouter spines with a papilla-like base on each abdominal tergum arranged more or less in rows, six on posterior margin of seventh tergum (in groups of three) and four on eighth.
