| Cleonaria bicolor Thomson, 1864 [1] | |
Cleonaria bicolor is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by James Thomson in 1864. [1] [2]
Cleonaria breed on species of Rubiaceae, particularly in the genus Ixora . Adults emerge and breed after the rains. Adults make incision on leaves while feeding and breed by laying eggs inside a hole made on the bark. The larvae have a diapause and pupate inside a burrow. [3] A bethylid wasp parasitizes the larvae of the beetle in southern India. [4]
