Tainarys sordida Burckhardt

( ®gures 29, 64) Tainarys sordida Burckhardt, 1987a: 314 . Holotype,l Argentina: RõÂo Negro, El Bolso  n,

Mount Piltriquitron, 580 m, 22.iv.1961, beaten from Colletia , Fabiana imbricata , Aristotelia

maqui, Maytenus boaria , Berberis buxifolia , Baccharis magellanica and L omatia obliqua ,

nr. 410 (G. Topal) (HNHM), probably destroyed.

D escription . Adult. By Burckhardt (1987a).

Fifth instar larva (®gure 29). Sclerites yellowish to ochreous, membranes whitish yellow. Body broadly oval. Antennae 7-segmented, with 1 rhinarium on each of segments 3 and 5 and 2 rhinaria on segment 7. Thoracic tergites small. Head, thorax, wing buds and caudal plate sparsely covered in dorsal setae. Head with a few thick or lanceolate setae anteriorly. Forewing buds moderately large, without humeral lobes. Wing buds with sparsely spaced marginal lanceolate setae, pointed or narrowly truncate apically. Legs relatively stout, with fused tibio-tarsus, claws absent. Caudal plate rounded apically, bearing a few marginal lanceolate setae similar to those of wing buds; dorsal surface granular. Anus ventral; circumanal ring small, consisting of a single row of elongate pores.

Host plants, gall and biology. Schinus fasciculatus (Grieseb.) Johnston , S. latifolius (Gillies) Engler , S. montanus (Philippi) Engler , S. patagonicus (Philippi) Johnston , S. polygamus (Cav.) Cabrera , S. velutinus (Turez.) Johnston. Forming irregular leaf roll galls or crumpling of young leaves (®gure 64). Flores et al. (1989) found two generations per year in a population on Schinus polygamus in the Santiago area.

The emergence of adults coincided with the growth of new twigs.

Distribution. Argentina (Cordoba, Mendoza, RõÂo Negro) and Chile (Regions III±IX and Metropolitana). Recorded from Argentina (Cordoba, RõÂo Negro) and Chile (Regions V, VII and Metropolitana) (Burckhardt, 1987a; Flores et al., 1989; Flores, 1990; Sa  iz and NunÄ ez, 1997).

Comments. The holotype of T. sordida and other material collected by G. Topal in Argentina which was studied by Burckhardt (1987a, 1987b, 1988) could not be traced at the HNHM ( T. Vasarhelyi, pers. commun.). It seems that the material was destroyed during the shipment from Liverpool to Budapest in 1985 .
