Immature Stages of Anthribidae
Detailed information on immature
stages of Anthribidae is being acquired.
However, Silvestri (1919b) found that Brachytarsus fasciatus
Foerst. larvae are restricted entirely to the cavity beneath an individual
host scale and are dependent on the eggs found there for food. Therefore, the relationship is identical
with that of the chalcidoid Scutellista
cyanea Motsch. and its host Saissetia oleae Bern. The larva
is weevil-like and robust, with the legs being represented by small conical
protuberances. The cycle from egg to
adult is around 2 months. Please CLICK on picture to view details: References: Please refer to <biology.ref.htm>, [Additional references may
