CONOCALAMA HOPPER, 1939 View in CoL

Conocalama Hopper, 1939: 319 View in CoL . Type-species: Trogus brullei Cresson. Original designation.

Species and distribution. There are 14 described species distributed from Canada to southern Mexico (Guerrero) ( Yu & Horstmann, 1997).

Autapomorphies. Flagellomeres of male with tyloids (#3–0); median longitudinal carinae present anteriad anterior transverse carina (#32–0).

Biology. Host data are available only for C. brullei (Cresson) , which has been reared from the sphingid Manduca sexta (L.) ( Heinrich 1962). Hopper (1939) lists three more sphingid hosts for this species – Paonias astyalus (Drury) , P. myops (J.E. Smith) , and Dolba hylaeus (Drury) – and mentions P. myops as a host of C. copei (Cresson) , but these records are completely unsupported. Heinrich (1962) discusses a specimen of C. quebecensis (Provancher) that, according to the label, was reared from the saturniid moth Eacles imperialis Drury ; host remains were not preserved, however, and Heinrich himself doubted the record [which is, incidentally, reiterated without comment in Carlson (1979)].
