EXOMALOPSIS (STILBOMALOPSIS) SOLANI COCKERELL

The pupa, known from a single female, was preserved when close to molting, so that some of the pupal integument was missing, including much of the leg segments and metasomal venter. It closely agrees with the description of Exomalopsis bruesi Cockerell except the vertical tubercles are much smaller, at most similar in size to those of Anthophorula sidae , although the paramedian mesoscutal, mesoscutellar, metanotal tubercles are essentially that same as those of Exo. bruesi (though without black spots). T6 appears to lack a subapical row of sharp tubercles, and the tubercles on the subapical rows of preceding segments may be less elongate.
