Description of the Final Instar Larva of Perithous scurra with Comments on Its Morphological Characters (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae, Delomeristini)
Abstract
A description is given of the final instar-larva of Perithous scurra (Panzer, 1804), which is compared with the previously described species of the genus, P. divinator (Rossius, 1790). The greater or lesser development of the epistoma, and the number of sensilla of the maxillary and labial palpi are the best characters for distinguishing between both species. Additionally, the larva of P. scurra presents spinules on the tegument and sensilla on the antennal orbits, but none of those structures has been described in P. divinator.Downloads
