Abstract

Background: Of the two known Eupareophora species, more is known about the larva and bionomics of the Nearctic E. parca, than the rarely recorded West Palaearctic E. exarmata.

New information: The last instar larva and prepupa of E. exarmata is illustrated and briefly described. In Germany its host is Fraxinus excelsior.

Keywords: Eupareophora exarmata; Fraxinus; Germany; Rosaceae; ash species; larva; prepupa; sawfly.
