Stenelaphus alienus Classification Family Cerambycidae > Subfamily Cerambycinae > Tribe Elaphidiini > Genus Stenelaphus Diagnostic Features of Larvae Larva. This larva can only be distinguished from Stenosphenus by the smaller pore and larger granulate area of the pleural discs; the striate area of the pronotum protrudes anteriorly along a median line as in the true species of Elaphidion; the ventro-lateral sutures are represented as a mere notch (as in Elaphidion), and the eusternal glabrous spots arc distinctly separated. Form rather robust; integument tough, shining, thickly covered with light castaneous hairs; labrum transversely oval; ocellus enclosed by a dark chitinization of gena; pronotal striae slightly oblique and with a tendency to reticulation; ampullae alutaceous; spiracles broadly oval, middle abdominal ones not larger than ocellus. Otherwise as in Stenosphenus. Adapted from Craighead (1923). 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 Craighead, 1923
