Stictoleptura rubra Classification Family Cerambycidae > Subfamily Lepturinae > Tribe Lepturini > Genus Stictoleptura Diagnostic Features of Larvae Mature larva. Similar to that of Leptura quadrifasciata, from which it differs as follows. Length up to 33 mm: maximum breadth (at prothorax) 6.5 mm. Head with genae with a shallow but conspicuous transverse furrow in front of ocellus. Mouthframe pitchy. Antenna with third segment elongate; second segment strongly transverse; supplementary process slightly shorter than third segment. Mandible with cutting edge with an oblique, dull, striated plate. Ocellus with lens rather protuberant anteriorly. Hypostoma about three times as broad as median length; anterior margin pitchy. Gula broad, with sutures slightly raised. Maxillary palpi with third segment shorter than second, elongate. Prothorax with eusternum microscopically reticulate, smooth and shining in middle, and with a triangular, though rather inconspicuous, pubescent or spiculate area near each basal angle as in Rutpela maculata. Abdomen with ampullae present on segments one to seven. Pupa. Similar to that of Stictoleptura scutellata, but rather more robust. Length 12-21 mm; maximum breadth 7.25 mm. Head with vertex bearing two short setae above each eye; front with only three setae opposite base of each antenna. Pronotum with front margin glabrous and without paired protuberances. Abdomen with ninth tergite bearing very small urogomphi, which are scarcely distinguishable from the remaining spines along the hind margin. Sternites three to eight glabrous. Tarsi with subapical setae minute. Egg. Length 1.5 mm; breadth 0.3 mm. Elongate, fusiform, rounded at both ends, one end being slightly more attenuated than the other. Chorion milky white and very finely reticulated. Adapted from Duffy (1953). Biology and Economic Importance Biology and economic importance for this taxon coming soon.
