Rio Grande do Sul: Cachoeira do Sul, S Nicolau, I-16-2007 (Tauber Lots 2007:023A, 2007:023B). Two field-collected L3 from RJ, Concei o de Macabu, Santo Agostinho, V-2-2003. Biology. Adults and larvae of this species were collected on shrubs in disturbed, dry forest habitats. Adults are agile; they exhibit fast, evasive flight, usually inward toward the interior of the bush or tree. Based on the following observations, we think that C. (C.) divisus adults may enter a diapause-mediated dormancy. Adults collected during the spring in Minas Gerais (Parque Ecol ico Cachoeiras do Rio Bonito) were yellow to yellowish brown, and they had a greasy appearance. In addition, their prothoracic stripes were pronounced, broad and relatively dark reddish brown. In the lab, reproduction by these adults did not oc-Larvae of five horticulturally important species of Chrysopodes…cur until after they had been held under warm, long-day conditions with ample food and water for over a week. Moreover, reproduction was correlated with the assumption of bright green coloration, the loss of some of the reddish brown coloration on the thorax, and a narrowing of the prothoracic stripes. In other Chrysopini adults, e.g., species of Chrysoperla, changing behavioral and color patterns like those described for C. (C.) divisus have been shown to be part of the diapause syndrome (Tauber et al. 1986). In the lab, eggs from all the lots listed above were deposited separately (with isolated stalks), in small groups with no particular pattern; the stalks were sticky, but without droplets. During the first 24 hours after oviposition, the eggs were bright yellowish green to green, without spots. On the second day, they began to develop a bluish brown color, with grey or brownish mottling which became more pronounced as hatching approached (Fig. 9). At 24 ?1 , hatching occurred within six to eight days (lots from three females collected in Cruz das Almas, n = 17 ?48 eggs/female). In one case, a small proportion (n = 2 of 28) of the eggs laid by a female from Minas Gerais had a prolonged incubation period (approximately one week to ten days longer than the usual six- to eight-day incubation period). They were a dark bluish brown color during the period of delay. The cause of the prolongation is unknown; however, the resulting larvae developed normally and appeared healthy. Larvae of C. (C.) divisus carry pieces of woody plant material and other dry debris on their backs. In the rearings (24? ) from three females collected at Cruz das Almas, development of the various stages required: L1, 5? days; L2, 5? days; L3, 5? days; cocoon, 16?0 days; complete development from oviposition to adult emergence, 40?8 days. Among the offspring of each of the three females, the sex ratio was approximately 1 : 1 (n = 19?3 individuals / female).
