COPESTYLUM LIMBIPENNE WILLISTON, 1887 Larva and puparium: Anterior fold with a narrow spicule band. Crochets of metathoracic prolegs forming a U-shaped band. Metathorax with lateral folds bearing broad setae at sensilla 4 and 5. Anal lobe with spicules. Posterior breathing tube with AP 1.5¥ length of TR, smooth, shining and tapering. Pupal spiracles about 0.94¥ length of AP. Taxonomic notes: Copestylum limbipenne is most similar to other members of the Marginatum group in having the AP longer than the width of the TR. It is distinguished from all these species except C. truncatum sp. nov. by the narrow band of spicules on the anterior fold and U-shaped arrangement of crochets on the mesothoracic prolegs. It is separated from C. truncatum by the tapering AP, which is longer than the width of the TR.
