Surface feeding on Catula gettyi at the Lost Valley Locality.
These damage types consist of three previously known damage types and one new damage type: (A,B) DT333 (DMNH 39725); This new damage type (DT) entails large areas of herbivory in which one surface of the leaf is removed and third-fourth order venation is left intact. Part A exhibits the rank of undamaged venation and does not have surface tissue removed. Counterpart B illustrates the tissue removal and the presence of intact third and fourth order veins. The other three surface feeding damage types are: (C) DT31; Removal of surface tissue with a distinct circular to ellipsoidal reactions rim (DMNH 41589); (D) DT30; Surface feeding with a polylobate reaction rim (DMNH 41566); and (E) DT29; Surface feeding with a weak reaction rim (DMNH 41593). Black scale bars = 5 mm; white scale bars = 1 mm.
