Taxonavigation

Ordo: Lepidoptera
Familia: Gracillariidae
Genus: Macrosaccus

Name

Macrosaccus morrisella (Fitch) comb. n. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Diagnosis

The forewing pattern of this species differs from that of Macrosaccus robiniella and Macrosaccus neomexicanus in possessing a more distinct basal white streak, in having the dorsal strigulae oriented less obliquely, and with the basal white dorsal stigula more pronounced, and from Macrosaccus gliricidius by the darker ground colour. The forewing pattern most resembles that of Macrosaccus uhlerella but differs in the more pronounced basal white streak which is absent or barely evident in Macrosaccus uhlerella. The male genitalia are most similar to that of Macrosaccus robiniella, particularly with regard to the more abruptly constricted apical third of the valva. The female genitalia differ from the latter in lacking the minute longitudinally oriented striae and spicules in the walls of the corpus bursae.

Adult (Fig. 5). Forewing length 2.3–2.8 mm.
Head: Vestiture of head and antenna similar to Macrosaccus robiniella.
Thorax: Dark brown to fuscous dorsally, sometimes with a coppery to purplish luster; shiny white ventrally; tegula dark brown, with white suffusion anteriorly. Forewing pattern similar to Macrosaccus robiniella except basal two costal strigulae less oblique; a slender white, slightly oblique streak usually well developed extending distad from tegula at base of wing to sometimes as far as first dorsal strigula; 3 white dorsal strigulae usually present, but these oriented less obliquely than in Macrosaccus robiniella; basal strigula white, but sometimes obscure; median strigula connected to second costal strigula to form a narrow white fascia; black apical spot present as in Macrosaccus robiniella; cilia light grey to white. Hindwing, including fringe, uniformly grey. Legs similar to Macrosaccus robiniella in colour pattern.
Abdomen: Similar to Macrosaccus robiniella, dark fuscous dorsally and white ventrally with greyish suffusion on anterior portion of segments 2–7 laterally and sometimes ventrally on A8.
Male genitalia (Figs 18, 19): Similar to Macrosaccus robiniella, with valva gradually constricting before apex. Saccus a long, slender rod ~ 1.75× length of valva. Aedeagus long and slender, ~ 3.0× length of valva, with phallobase slightly more enlarged than in Macrosaccus robiniella.
Female genitalia (Figs 20–22): Ductus bursae long and slender, nearly equal to length of of elongate corpus bursae. Accessory bursae ~ 2/3 the length of corpus bursae, arising from near anterior 1/3 of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae elliptical, with series of small, scattered dentate spicules concentrated over caudal 2/3; longitudinal folds or striae not evident along walls; walls of anterior end (distal 1/3) of corpus bursae entirely membranous.

Larva and pupa

Similar to that of Macrosaccus robiniella.

Larval mine

(Figs 41–44) The mine begins as an elongate serpentine track on the under (abaxial) side of the leaflet. This enlarges to an elongate-oval, whitish blotch which eventually becomes strongly tentiform (Fig. 43).

Hosts

(Table 1). Fabaceae: Amphicarpa bracteata (L.) Fernald, (=Amphicarpa monoica (L.) Nutt.,= Falcata comosa (L.) Kuntze, = Amphicarpa comosa (L.) Loudon), (Chambers 1878[20]: 111; Walsingham 1889[3]: 119; Ely 1917: 59). Strophostyles leiosperma (Torrey and A. Gray), (= Strophostyles pauciflorus (Bentham) S. Watson), new record. The primary host, Amphicarpa bracteata, is a low growing, trifoliate vine which occurs in damp woodlands widely from southern Canada and Montana to Texas and Florida. Strophostyles leiosperma is a climbing, trifoliate vine which occurs in drier habitats through the central United States from Arizona to Pennsylvania and Florida.

The specimens bearing the serial numbers 1–68, and the specimens of G. hermannella var. lingulacella immediately following, were received by Stainton from Chambers. The numbers refer to a list made by Chambers; many of the specimens are likely to be syntypes. See Stainton foreign correspondence, letters nos. 94, 97 and 111 (by Chambers) and Stainton’s “translations” of Chambers’ awful handwriting, nos. 95, 99 and 96 respectively (the letters are out of chronological sequence). – KRT, 1980”.

Distribution

Macrosaccus morrisella occurs widespread across eastern North America from Manitoba and Ontario, Canada, south and west to Texas and Colorado (Chambers 1877[19]).

Remarks

Chambers in his 1877 description of Lithocolletis amphicarpeaeella expressed doubt if this was a new species or new variety (as he did on the same page and line for “Lithocolletis amorphaeella n.sp.? or var.?”). Their descriptions included long, detailed comparisons of the forewing patterns of these two new moths as well of robiniella and “texana” (misspelled). No locality for either name was mentioned except for Colorado in the title of the publication (Chambers 1877[19]). Each of the three “type” specimens of amphicarpeaeella in the collections of the MCZ have the name “Kentucky” crossed out on the specimen label “Kentucky, Chambers”, and no mention of Colorado appears. A male specimen in best condition has been selected as lectotype.
The holotype specimen of Lithocolletis texanella Zeller upon examination was found to be a male and not a female as stated originally by Zeller (1875)[16].
