Tenthredinidae, Nematinae
Neopareophora litura (Klug), female. Specimen examined. Females are variable in color,being partly orange as this to almost all black (see 508319). Males are mostly black (see 508315). Larvae feed on Vaccinium (sometimes a pest of bluberry). First instar larvae feed in the buds; subsequent instars feed on the leaves.
