Anomoea laticlavia (Persimmon beetle, Clay-colored leaf beetle) is a reddish-brown and black leaf beetle native to central and eastern North America. It feeds on the leaves of Fabaceae, persimmons, and other species in its adult phase.
Description
[edit]A. laticlavia adults are 7 to 12mm. It is recognizable with variable width black suture on a reddish-brown elytron. Males' front legs are relatively large.[1][2] A. laticlavia is in the unranked taxon Camptosomata, or case-bearing leaf beetles.
Ecology
[edit]Larvae are subterranean root or litter feeders. Reported adult host-plants include legumes, oaks, willows, persimmon, and ragweed. Some Florida populations are identified as a subspecies.[1][3]
