Hyllisia stenideoides Classification Family Cerambycidae > Subfamily Lamiinae > Tribe Agapanthiini > Genus Hyllisia Diagnostic Features of Larvae Mature larva. Distinguishable from those of Agapanthia species as follows. Form appreciably more slender. Head entirely and uniformly testaceous dorsally, the frontal sutures indistinct. Posterior area of hypostoma ferruginous ocellus comprising a distinct pigmented spot but lens not clearly defined. Prothorax with sclerotized area much less extensive and almost confined to front margin. Abdomen with dorsal ampullae present on segments 1-3 and 7 only. Segment 7 strongly and abruptly broadened medially, this segment distinctly broader medially than the remaining segments and with tubercles of ampullae much more strongly developed. Pupa. Length up to 16 mm; maximum breadth 2.9 mm. Head with vertex entirely visible from above, very deeply excavated between antennal bases. Clypeus with about twelve setae across base. Antennae extending as far as abdominal segment 2 or 3, where they are strongly curved downward and directed anteriorly as far as vertex of head, where they are curled over dorsally to terminate alongside head ; segment I very elongate, extending almost to hind margin of pronotum. Eyes feebly convex, glabrous. Mandibles each with a pair of fine setae near middle of outer face. Pronotum elongate, broadest posteriorly, bearing several scattered, fine setae, especially around lateral margins. Mesonotum glabrous. Metanotum bearing at most one or two setae. Elytra and wings extending to abdominal segment 4. Abdomen with tergites 2-6 each with feebly protuberant bilobed ampullae, each of which bear a transverse group of hook-like spines which are strongly curved in a posterior direction. Tergite 7 elongate, slightly tapering and bearing several slightly curved spines, those on middle of disc being much stouter and arising from a slight tuberculate protuberance. Tergite 9 very short, concealed beneath tergite 8. Pleura scarcely protuberant, each with a few fine setae. Legs glabrous; hind femora extending to abdominal segment 3; tibiae directed posteriorly. Functional spiracles present on segments 1-7; peritreme broadly oval. Adapted from Duffy (1957). Biology and Economic Importance Members of this tribe are known from various host plant families. Species of this tribe are potentially invasive outside their native range. Selected References to Larvae Specimens Duffy, 1957
