Aneflomorpha lineare Classification Family Cerambycidae > Subfamily Cerambycinae > Tribe Elaphidiini > Genus Aneflomorpha Diagnostic Features of Larvae The following larvae are considered generically distinct from the other species of Elaphidion and possibly even of higher rank as they are here placed. These forms show the extreme specialization of the twig-girdling habits peculiar to certain species of Elaphidion. The larvae are likewise specialized and approach those of the group Stenaspis, though the transition is probably not direct. They can be recognized as follows: Form very elongate, cylindrical ; body very hairy ; head oval in cross-section ; one large ocellus; gena not shouldered and bearing long curved setae; process of palpifer distinct, rather large; prothorax quadrate, ventral region very broad; posterior pronotum embossed, finely and regularly striate, anteriorly densely and longly haired, no median suture; latero-ventral suture absent; eusternal spots very small, fused; sternellar fold somewhat fused into epipleurum, not passing spiracles; metanotum bearing a transverse and several accessory impressions; legs four-jointed, long, slender; ampullae strongly protuberant, small having two lateral, one transverse, and a median impression, all very deep; intersegmental skin very long; pleural discs somewhat variable, usually striate, with a deep pore.

Species of this tribe are potentially invasive outside their native range. Selected References to Larvae Specimens Craighead, 1923
