Larval instars of Appendiseta robiniae (Gillette, 1907) (Hemiptera: Aphidoidea: Drepanosiphidae)
Polish Journal of Entomology (Polskie Pismo Entomologiczne) 80 (3), 443-449
Abstract: Appendiseta robiniae (Gillette, 1907) is a species relatively recently recorded in the Polish fauna. In the development of A. robiniae 4 larval instars were observed prior to the adult. The morphometric parameters of each larval instar were defined. DFA analysis indicated that the best parameters distinguishing the instars of A. robiniae are antenna and body lengths. DFA analysis confirmed that larval growth is the fastest between the third and fourth instars.
