Classification Diagnostic Features of Larvae
  • Larva. In general as in Neoclytus acuminatus; posterior transverse border of presternum very narrow and bisected in middle by longitudinal band of short stiff hairs; body more densely hairy, these hairs castaneous. Joints of palpi subequal, second joint of antennae longer than first or third. Pupa: Abdominal terga beset with fine chitinous asperites and a few short recurved hooks not disposed transversely, very large on seventh segment. Hind and middle femora with two long conical processes at tibial articulation. Adapted from Craighead (1923).

  • 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.
