Abstract:The morphological ontogeny of Conoppia palmicincta (Michael, 1880) is described and illustrated.

The juveniles of this species are light brown, roundish and flattened. Most prodorsal setae of the juveniles are setiform (short ro, le and ex; long bs), except for phylliform and reticulate in. The larva has 11 pairs of gastronotal setae, including h2, the nymphs have 12 pairs (h3 and… Show more
