Biology. Predators as larvae on species of Adelges Vallot and Pineus Shimer (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) on Pinaceae (Abies, Picea, Pinus, Tsuga). Specific records (including our own rearings) include: Adelges piceae on Abies balsamea; Adelges tsugae on western hemlock, Tsuga heterophylla (Kohler et al. 2008); Pineus abietinus Underwood & Balch on Abies lasiocarpa; Pineus boerneri on Pinus henryi; Pineus coloradensis (Gillette) on Pinus banksiana, Pinus contorta, Pinus flexis, Pinus monticola, and Picea engelmannii; Pineus pineoides (Cholodkovsky) on Picea sp.; Pineus pini on Pinus sylvestris; Pineus similis (Gillette) on Picea glauca and Picea abies; Pineus strobi on Pinus strobus (Wantuch et al. 2019); Pineus spp. on Picea glauca, Pinus contorta, Pinus insularis, Pinus pentaphylla, Pinus resinosa, Pinus strobus and Pinus sylvestris (McAlpine & Tanasijtshuk 1972). Several specimens were swept from infestations of Cinara ponderosae (Williams) in young stands of Pinus ponderosa (e. g., height less than 5 m throughout the large stand), but despite rearing> 150 chamaemyiid larvae from this host, none were this species but were instead Vitaleucopis nidolkah Gaimari and an undescribed species of Leucopis (Leucopis). It remains a possibility that Leucotaraxis argenticollis is also a predator in that system, whether on the Cinara aphids or on adelgids unseen by the first author while collecting.
description
(Figs 1 B – C, 2 A – B, 3 A, 3 D – E)
diagnosis
Diagnosis. The face and lunule (Fig. 2 B) are silvery-grey pruinose. The postpronotum (Fig. 2 A) has 1 to several long setulae (longer than the setulae on the scutum) medially from the postpronotal seta. In the male (see figs 8 – 16, 19 in McAlpine & Tanasijtshuk 1972), the epandrial complex is simple, small, and yellowish- to silvery-grey pruinose, with no central epandrial process; the surstylar lobe is short and slender, the phallus (Fig. 3 A) is broad in lateral view with a wedge-shaped anterobasal process at a 90 ° angle from the thin elongate pointed process. In the female (Figs 3 D – E), tergites (Fig. 3 E) with tergite 6 enlarged and slightly less than 2 X wider than long, tergite 7 present and strap-like, tergite 8 longer than wide, slightly tapering distally; sternites (Fig. 3 D) with sternite 6 enlarged and about 2 X wider than long, sternite 7 present and arcuate. Immatures. Egg. Measurements as in Leucotaraxis atrifacies (Fig. 1 A). Larvae. Described and figured in McAlpine & Tanasijtshuk (1972). Puparium (Fig. 1 B). Length 2.3 – 2.8 mm, width 0.9 – 1.0 mm. Dehiscent anterior segments (dorsal and ventral) 0.05 – 0.06 mm long. Raised posterior spiracular tubercles (Fig. 1 C) 0.12 – 0.16 mm long, darkly sclerotized.
discussion
Remarks. At two different localities (one in New Mexico and one in Arizona), this species was collected together with Chamaethrix necopina Gaimari, Leucotaraxis atrifacies and Vitaleucopis nidolkah, and at the New Mexico locality also with Leucotaraxis sepiola. The puparial stage is distinguishable from that of Leucotaraxis atrifacies and L. piniperda by the slightly longer posterior spiracular tubercle, which is more darkly sclerotized distally in this species, and the slightly larger size. The three specimens from Coconino County, Arizona, were mistakenly listed by Tanasijtshuk (2002) as Leucopis piniperda.
