Classification
Diagnostic Features of Larvae
- Larva. In general as in O. rufulum, but differing in having a less elongate form and shorter body hairs; genal bristles fine, whitish; ocellus rather indistinct; process of palpifer as long or longer than entire palpus; gula longitudinally striate; posterior area of pronotum raised, extending forward in the middle, faintly and sparsely striate; dorsal ampullae projecting, marked by a single transverse fold (in O. rufulum two folds are present). Adapted from Craighead (1923).
Biology and Economic Importance
