Chlorida festiva

Classification Diagnostic Features of Larvae
  • Mature larva. Similar to that of Stromatium auratum but differing as follows. Head with hypostoma narrowly and feebly tuberculate on front margin. Front margin of frons strongly sinuate medially. Gena not irregularly swollen around ocellus. Posterior margin of submentum not produced posteriorly to overlap hypostoma. Labrum as Jong as or slightly longer than broad. Prothorax with pronotum bearing a single isolated pair of setae placed paramedially near posterior margin. Length up to 37 mm; maximum breadth (at prothorax) 9 mm.

    Pupa. Head entirely smooth and glabrous; vertex not concealed from above by pronotum. Antennae filiform, extending to abdominal segment 4, where they are recurved ventrally to terminate alongside front coxae. Eyes feebly convex, glabrous. Pronotum with front margin broadly rounded; sides with a pair of stout median conical tubercles and front angles with an oblique truncate tubercle; disc with a pair of paramedian, slightly raised, circular areas which bear scattered setae. Mesonotum and metanotum glabrous or almost so. Elytra and wings extending as far as abdominal segment 3. Abdomen with tergites 2-6 each bearing numerous short, stout, ferruginous spines. Tergite 7 quadrate, with sides strongly converging posteriorly, the hind margin slightly produced medially; a pair of large tubercles, each bearing two very long curved spines arising near posterior margin, anterior to which is a smaller pair of tubercles, each bearing a pair of smaller divergent spines. Tergite 8 bearing a similar pair of tubercles posteriorly. Tergite 9 retracted. Sternites bearing a few scattered fine setae sublaterally. Legs with hind femora extending as far as abdominal segment 5. Function.al spiracles present on abdominal segments 1-5, the sixth pair being partly closed; peritreme narrowly oval, thick, pale and strongly raised above general level of cuticle. Length up to 30 mm; maximum breadth 8 mm. Adapted from Duffy (1960).
Biology and Economic Importance
  • Biology unknown for most members of this tribe. Species of this tribe are potentially invasive outside their native range.
