forms in this family, specific determinations are very difficult.

them from those of closely related families; Large oval pit on the 
submerrtum; seta III directly above, or above and slightly behind, the 
spiracle on 8th abdominal segment; only 3 setae in group VII of 
abdominal proleg and frequently with a dark ring about base of seta 
III on abdominal segments 1 - 7, 
Mexico, Central America, and West Indies, 
Hosts: Cotton (bolls), banana (debris), pepper, and pineapple.
