Abstract
Fig. 6. Illustration of the host plant and the life cycle of Endaeus canangae Haran sp. nov. on Sumatra Island, Indonesia. A. Flower of Cananga odorata (Lam.) Hook.f. & Thomson (Annonaceae Juss.) in anthesis. Note the mines on petals. B. First instar larva in its mine, protected under the epidermis. C. Last instar larva in a senescent petal. D. Adult landing on petals in late afternoon during anthesis. E. Adults hiding in the "cage" formed by the petals around stigma and stamens. The conformation of the base of the inner petal forces the specimens into contact with receptive stigma when specimens are entering the cage. Note the presence of sap beetle (Nitidulidae Latreille, 1802) standing at the entrance of the cage as well. F–H. Adults standing hidden on the red spots in the cage in the evening (F–G), actively moving, mating and ovipositing on the petals in the night (H). Not to scale.
