Description

Temelucha pestifer (Morley, 1913)

(Fig. 11 c)

Cremastus pestifer Morley, 1913: 499

Diagnosis. Temelucha pestifer is characterized by its short and stout tergite I, with petiole hardly longer than postpetiole.

Description. Morley (1913).

Biological notes. Collected in rice field (Oryza sativa) and associated with an unknown stem borer (Momoi 1968).

Comments. The general aspect of T. pestifer makes it very close to other local Temelucha such as T. basiornata. Its presumed presence in Reunion might ensue from a misidentification but we could not locate the specimen determined by Benoit (1957).

Distribution records. India, Sri Lanka, South Africa and possibly Reunion.

Material examined. HOLOTYPE Ƥ (BNHM HYM 3b 1460) Verbatim label data: Brit. Mus. 1927–486, Ceylon S.P., Weligama, leg. T.S.F., 22.I.08.
