Abstract

Mature larvae of Pissodes strobi (Peck), Pissodes schwarzi Hopkins, Pissodes nemorensis Germar, and Pissodes terminalis Hopping are described and external morphology illustrated. A key to species is presented. A phylogenetic analysis is done using single- and multiple-outgroup comparisons, which both find trees of identical topology. Character states of clypeus pigmentation and premental sclerite shape putatively support a monophyletic relationship of the P. strobi complex.

Résumé

On trouvera ici une description illustrée de la morphologie externe des larves à maturité de Pissodes strobi (Peck), Pissodes schwarzi Hopkins, Pissodes nemorensis Germar et Pissodes teminalis Hopping. Une clé d'identification permettra de distinguer les espèces. Une analyse phylogénétique a été faite, basée sur des comparaisons avec un ou plusieurs groupes externes, deux méthodes qui ont donné des arbres de topologies identiques. Les caractères de la pigmentation du clypéus et de la forme du sclérite du prémentum reflètent probablement une relation monophylétique au sein du complexe P. strobi.
