Clytoleptus albofasciatus

Classification Diagnostic Features of Larvae
  • Larva. Form more slender and cylindrical than in Clytus ruricola; integument shining, hairs light castaneous, finer and more dense. Head roundly trapezoidal; mouth-frame lightly corneous, labrum transversely oval; basal piece of mandible one-half length of apical; first joint of antennae globular, about one-half length of second; one very large white ocellus; gena bearing a few long setae; last labial joint longer than last maxillary, which in turn is longer than second; anterior edge of hypostoma very shallowly but broadly notched by insertion of submentum. Pronotum having median suture deeply impressed behind, posterior area coarsely and somewhat obliquely striate; ampullae alutaceous, shining often subtuberculate; no trace of ventrolateral suture. Legs minute, fleshy, two-jointed. Spiracles broadly oval, peritreme thin, somewhat sunken. Adapted from Craighead (1923).
Biology and Economic Importance
  • Members of this tribe are known from various host plant families and several genera (e.g., Chlorophorus, Xylotrechus) are considered economically important. Species of this tribe are potentially invasive outside their native range. More information is available at the CAPS website.
