Chiasmetes limae Classification Family Cerambycidae > Subfamily Prioninae > Tribe Macrotomini > Genus Chiasmetes Diagnostic Features of Larvae Mature larva. Form subcylindrical, very robust. Head moderately depressed, slightly transverse; frons pale testaceous except declivity of front margin, which is narrowly pitchy; front margin roundly declivous, without a complete transverse ridge on upper boundary and lower boundary not produced over clypeus. Antenna 2-segmented; segment 2 strongly elongate and obliquely truncate apically; basal membrane strongly produced beyond foramen, the latter smooth, evenly rounded and closely surrounding the membrane but not concealing the inner face. Postcondylar carina distinct; subfossal process acutely conical. Ocelli indiscernible. Mandible robust, pitchy, shining, with outer face strongly rugose. Labrum oval, leathery, partly ferruginous and coarsely and densely setose anteriorly. Gula extremely short, with sutures diverging to meet anterior portion of occipital foramen. Maxillary palp with segment 3 acutely conical, slightly shorter than segment 2. Prothorax obliquely inclined dorsally, about twice as broad as long; pronotum milky white, sparsely setose anteriorly, vermiculately rugose posteriorly; median cleavage line shallow, rather indistinct; eusternum subtriangular, sparsely setose; presternum without tubercles. Mesonotum and metanotum smooth, glabrous. Abdomen with dorsal and ventral ampullae on segments 1-7 indistinctly defined, slightly wrinkled. Segment 9 large, slightly extended. Anus trilobed, each lobe strongly protuberant. Legs shorter than maxillary palpi, testaceous; unguiculus slightly attenuated. Spiracles with peritreme broadly oval, moderately thick and slightly raised above general level of cuticle. Length up to 60 mm; maximum breadth (at prothorax) 14 mm. Adapted from Duffy (1960).
