Biology [Martin 2005: 8] [Russell 1986: 143] [Sampson & Drews 1941: 180] [Bondar 1923: 156]: Puparia gregarious; shape oval to broadly oval. Pupal margin with a fringe of white, waxy filaments extending outward; waxy ribbons arising from the dorsum. Dorsum somewhat convex; pupal case brown or black with margin varying from yellowish to dark color.
Distribution [Sampson & Drews 1941: 180] [Bondar 1923: 156] [Bondar 1923: 156]: Nearctic & Neotropical.
Taxonomy [Martin 2005: 9] [Sampson & Drews 1941: 180] [Bondar 1923: 156] [Bondar 1923: 156]: Margin. Dentate from reddish, yellowish to black in color. Dorsum. The presence of the bifurcate, bifid (hornlike), process overlaying the vasiform orifice, separates this genus from all others. However, this process may be broken off during the mounting process. Submargin separated from dorsal disk with a pronounced subdorsal furrow with submarginal ridges & furrows from weak to pronounced. Submarginal glands present or absent, when present appearing as a 2nd row of teeth. Rachis present on abdominal segments I-VIII with spinules present. Caudal furrow and caudal ridges absent. Submedian depressions weak. Chaetotaxy. Anterior & posterior setae present.
Similar genera [Bondar 1923: 156]: The presence of the bifurcate
