Descriptions of immature stages of the cynipid Hexacola sp. near websteri
(Eucoilinae: Hymenoptera), a larval pupal parasite of Hippelates eye gnats (Diptera: Chloropidae). Canad. Entomol. 106(10): 1043-1048. Hexacola sp. near websteri
(Crawford), an imported larval-pupal parasite of Hippelates eye gnats
was reared in the laboratory on this host and its immature stages were
diagrammed. The duration of each
stage at 26 deg. C. was as follows:
egg = 2 days, first instar larva = 2 days, second instar larva = 3
days, third instar larva = 4 days, and pupa = 6-7 days. The morphological characters are compared
with those of related species and the feeding activity of the larva is
described. Page 1043 Page 1044 Page 1045 Page 1046 |
