Description

Figure 1. Life history of Cylindrotominae. (A) First-instar larva of Triogma kuwanai consuming fluid within a leaf of Plagiomnium vesicatum (Mniaceae), dorsal view; cells devoid of chlorophyll (black arrowheads) indicate the piercing-andsucking feeding method. (B) Final-instar larva of Liogma brevipecten chewing a leaf margin of Rhizomnium tuomikoskii (Mniaceae), lateral view; note that the head capsule is fully retracted within the lip-like cuticular lobe. (C) Pupa of Liogma brevipecten with a green hue and displaying transverse black stripes in abdominal segments, dorsal view. (D) Copulating couple of Liogma mikado on moss tufts; the female, on the left, was dragged out of the pupal exuvium by the male and thus the body has not been completely sclerotised. (E) Leaf of Stellaria (Caryophyllaceae) with two characteristic incisions in the epidermis of the lower leaf surface (white arrowheads) due to endophytic oviposition; the eggs are absent. (F) Egg of L. mikado laid on a shoot of Hylocomnium splendens (Hylocomniaceae). (G) Larva of C. japonica, which is being preyed upon by what is presumably a third-instar nymph of Himacerus apterus (Hemiptera: Nabidae). Scale = 1 mm.
