We analyzed 25 on the examined for correct identification in the species (see description and figures 1568539X-00003152 in Tauber et al. (C.) spinellus in that all of its cranial setae (such as S1) are devoid of thorns. Initial instar. (Semaphoront A). Physique (Fig. 10A) 2.three?.eight mm lengthy. Surface predominantly white to cream-colored, with some, tiny, light brown marks, light dusting of brown, particularly on sides and venter. Head (Figs 2B, 10B) 0.39?.41 mm wide; mandibles 0.36?.38 mm extended (ratio, mandible length : head width = 0.86?.96 : 1). Cranium largely white to cream colored, with elongate, narrow, light brown markings. Epicranial marking consisting of two, unconnected, narrow, longitudinally elongated stripes (arms); mesal arm contiguous with postfrontal marking, extending from base of cranium to anteromesal margin ofLarvae of 5 horticulturally significant species of Chrysopodes...antennal socket; lateral arm lighter brown, extra diffuse than mesal arm, extending from posterolateral margin of cranial suture around to distal base of mandible. Postfrontal marking indistinguishable, fused with mesal arm of epicranial marking. Frontal marking narrow, extending from midregion of cranium anteriorly to degree of antennal socket, then curving laterally toward lighter brown mark at mesal margin of mandibular base; posteromesal ends of marking curving inward, fusing narrowly at tip. Intermandibular, clypeal places white. Cranial setae amber to light brown; S1, S11 long, thorny, robust; other individuals shorter, smooth; Vx setae tiny. Gena, ventral area of head capsule brown, with white spot in anterior area of genal mark. Labial palpus white, marked with light brown on basal segment, distal two.R Albuquerque, 2012 http://species-id.net/wiki/Chrysopodes_fumosus Figs two?, 10?three Discussion. Adults of this not too long ago described species are readily distinguished from other Chrysopodes species. Especially, the C. (C.) fumosus forewings have venation that is extensively crassate and uniquely patterned; the membrane surrounding lots of with the crossveins is heavily fumose ?as a result, the species name. Both the male and female genitalia are distinctive and need to be examined for precise identification on the species (see description and figures 1568539X-00003152 in Tauber et al. 2012). Known geographic distribution. Brazil, Venezuela (Tauber et al. 2012). Larval diagnosis. Just like the larvae of C. (C.) geayi and C. (C.) spinellus, C. (C.) fumosus larvae have largely white to cream-colored heads with brown, longitudinally elongate and divided epicranial markings; the intermandibular and clypeal regions are unmarked. Their frontal markings are distinguished from those on the other two spe-Patr ia S. Silva et al. / ZooKeys 262: 39?two (2013)Figure 10.
