Leuronota Crawford

( Fig. 34 , 69 , 83 )

Diagnosis: Head about as wide as mesoscutum, scarcely or not deflected from body; genal processes divergent, variably upturned ( Fig. 34 ). Antennae 2.0-3.6 times longer than head width; segment 3 the longest; terminal setae truncate, one smaller than the other. Pronotum anteriorly with a central spine-like tubercle projected forward, posteriorly with two rounded tubercles on each side. Forewing with strict trifurcation; membrane often maculated ( Fig. 69 ). Meracanthus prominent; metatibia with prominent genual spine and 3+1 apical spurs. Male proctiger with anus directed anteriorly; paramere often with well-developed posterior lobe. Female proctiger usually truncate or rounded with a dorsal sclerotised, transverse groove distal to circumanal ring ( Crawford 1914; Brown & Hodkinson 1988).

Biology and damage: Immatures of Leuronota calycophylli Burckhardt & Couturier , for instance, are found feeding on Calycophyllum spruceanum (Rubiaceae) , inducing marginal rolls on young shoots inside which they live ( Burckhardt & Couturier 1994).

Host-plants: Acanthaceae , Boraginaceae , Calophyllaceae , Cannabaceae , Cunoniaceae , Dipterocarpaceae , Meliaceae , Rubiaceae , Rutaceae and Solanaceae ( Brown & Hodkinson 1988; Burckhardt 1988; Ouvrard 2017).

Distribution: Southern United States, Central and South America, tropical Asia ( Hodkinson 1989).
