TERATOGNATHA MODESTA OGLOBLIN

The single available pupa of this species, a female, is almost indistinguishable from that of Chilimalopsis parvula . The basitibial plates appear to have a more uneven (varicose) surface than those of C. parvula , and, although the metanotum is produced near the midline, it appears to be a single central swelling. Furthermore, the subapical rows of tergal spines appear to rise from somewhat more pronounced and elevated tubercles.

MALE DESCRIPTION: Unknown.

MATERIAL STUDIED: One female pupa: Argentina: Salta Province, 6 km SW Pichanal, XI-11-1993 ( J.G. Rozen, A. Roig) .
