Coelopacidia vivax (Munro, 1933) View in CoL

( Fig. 1)

Stenotrypeta vivax Munro, 1933: 27 View in CoL . (Type locality: East London , Eastern Cape, South Africa.)

Coelopacidia strigata View in CoL : Bezzi 1924: 473; Munro 1925: 45, 1926: 10. [Misidentifications: Munro (1933).]

Distribution: Southern South Africa. Known from Durban, Cedara, East London, Grahamstown and Hout BaY (KwaZuluNatal, Eastern Cape and Western Cape provinces: Munro 1935, 1960). A record from Kenya ( Copeland et al. 2005) is regarded as a misidentification of C. strigata .

Host plants: Stems of Senecio juniperinus , S. paniculatus and S. pterophorus in South Africa; larvae feed on the pith of the stem and pupate within the burrow (Munro 1926 [as ‘ C. strigata ’], 1935). Recorded as a pest of cultivated Cineraria at Durban (Munro 1960).

Comments: Munro (1933) illustrated the wing and later (Munro 1984) the spermatheca, male sternites and aedeagus.
