Paratimia conicola Classification Family Cerambycidae > Subfamily Spondylidinae > Tribe Atimiini > Genus Paratimia Diagnostic Features of Larvae Larva. Form semi-robust, anteriorly depressed; integument firm, shining, very sparsely covered with short whitish pubescence. Very closely resembling Atimia, from which it is distinguished by the absence of any velvety texture on prothorax or body. Pronotum trapezoidal, widest behind, smooth, glabrous, shining. Ampullae prominent, projecting, shining, not bilobed, marked by a transverse furrow. Caudal spines separated about three times their height, very attenuately acute, straight, projecting dorsally. The larva feeds in the dry, dead cones of Pinus attenuata, boring through pith scales and seeds. Adults were found in the pupal cells in October. Adapted from Craighead (1923).
