Taxonus japonicus Takeuchi, 1929

Japanese name: Bara-kuro-habachi

( Fig. 13 View Fig )

Larva. Early or middle instar ( Fig. 13A View Fig ): Thinly covered with white bloom; head pale yellow; trunk pale green yellow. Mature larva (probably after extra molt) ( Fig. 13B View Fig ): Head yellow; trunk green yellow, with spiracles black; thoracic legs pale greenish gray.

Material examined. HONSHU: Tochigi Pref.: 1$, Nakagawa, Wami , 36°47′N 140°10′E, coll. larva on Rosa multiflora , 31. V. 2021, mat. 20. VI., em. 12. IV. 2022, S. Ibuki ( Fig. 13 View Fig ) GoogleMaps .

Host plants. Rosaceae : Rosa multiflora Thunb. (new record), R. onoei Makino var. onoei ( Okutani, 1967) .

Remarks. The larva of this species presumably has an extra molt, because the mature larva does not have white bloom. Taxonus minomensis (Takeuchi, 1929) is also known to be associated with Rosa ( Okutani, 1967) . Its larva has not been described.
