I did not see any adults from this genus on the tree, just Paropsis atomaria and it's eggs. Elevated temperature accelerated larval development but did not impact other insect parameters. The larvae had pale bands just posterior to their heads and three black dots on each side of the thoracic segments. The larvae has a black head and a black tail. When ready to pupate they drop to the ground, burrow into the soil where they pupate.
