Neoclytus scutellaris Classification Family Cerambycidae > Subfamily Cerambycinae > Tribe Clytini > Genus Neoclytus Diagnostic Features of Larvae Larva. Form more slender than in N. capraea; hairs light castaneous, sparse. Pleurostoma and anterior edge of hypostoma swollen and heavily corneous to the same degree as in N. conjunctus, somewhat bisinuous; second joint of antennae longest, first about as long as thick; last labial joint shorter, second equal to last labial. Posterior area of pro-eusternum having a dull, transverse, finely granulated band; mesosternum and metasternum also dull granulate. Spiracles small, oval, middle abdominal ones scarcely larger than ocellus. Otherwise as N. caprea. Adapted from Craighead (1923). Biology and Economic Importance This larva has only been found in Quercus alba, always associated with a dry fungus rot. It works similarly to N. caprea, but the mines are not so extensive.
