Classification Diagnostic Features of Larvae
  • Mature larva. Similar to those of Megacyllene species, but differing as follows. Head with apical segment of maxillary palpi distinctly longer than penultimate segment. Only one pair of ocelli present. Abdomen with pleural tubercles on segment 7 strongly protuberant laterally. Adapted from Duffy (1960).
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.
