a better one (22 li). The name striata Stgr. is utilised in the Genus: Argyrospila for the species enumerated 
there (see Supplementary Volume p. 194, pi. 22 f). D. Lucas established the Genus: Lecerfia for chitinipyga. 
The edge of the 7. tergite is bent upwards in the form of a heavily chitinised thick roll. Larva greenish white, 
coarsely granulated, with delicate pale brown dorsal and wide olive-brown subdorsal bands. It feeds in April
