Description

Coelopacidia marriotti (Munro, 1935)

Stenotrypeta marriotti Munro, 1935: 24. (Type locality: Rockeries Section, Drakensberg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.)

Distribution: South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal).

Host plant: Stems of Polemannia grossulariifolia in South Africa (Munro 1935).

Comments: This is one of two species with the black pterostigma, differing from the other, C. melanostigma, in lacking a dark apical wing spot. Munro (1935) indicated only a single mid-tibial apical spine and this, the Apiaceae host plant and the presence of both presutural and prescutellar acrostichal setae suggest that the species might not belong in Coelopacidia.
