Basic Information
Galerucella
Water-lily Beetle, lehtinälvikkäät
Galerucella is a genus of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae described by George Robert Crotch in 1873. It is widely distributed but absent in the Neotropics. Some species feed on waterlilies and are used as biocontrol of introduced, invasive waterlilies. Galerucella tenella feed on strawberry plants. Adults are 3.5-4.2 mm long, yellowish brown, metathorax and abdomen black; elytra evenly convex. The eggs measure 0.5-0.6 mm, globose, reddish yellow. Larvae 5 C6 mm long, yellowish brown with rows of dark transverse bands and warts with setae; legs and head are black. Pupae 3.5 C4 mm, black. The immature beetles hibernate under plant remains. In the spring, in the second half of April, at a temperature of 13-14 C, the beetles leave the wintering grounds and in addition feed: they skeletonize the leaves and gnaw through the sinuous holes. Less often damage the petioles of leaves, inflorescences and flowers. During the extension of the buds, the females lay 1 or 2 eggs each day in the gnawed holes on the underside of the leaves. The period of egg laying is stretched, up to 30 to 45 days. Fertility - 150-200 eggs. Embryonic development lasts from 12 to 20 days. Larvae live 25 to 30 days, skeletonize the leaves. After completing its development, they pass to the surface layer of the soil near the plants and pupate. Beetles that come out after 8 to 12 days, eat leaves for a while, after which they pass to wintering. One generation per year develops.

Morphological Features
Body length 3.2–4.2 mm, width 1.37–1.62 mm. Head brown with large black spot on vertex, narrower than pronotum, densely and coarsely punctate, interstices with irregular microreticulation; median depressed line from middle of vertex to below antennal sockets. Antenna with length ratio of antennomeres 1–11 (antennomere 2 = 1): 2-1-1.33-1.13-1.06-1-1-1-1-1-1.53. Pronotum brown, sometimes with diffuse darker spot in middle; punctation and microreticulation as on head, except more elevated areas behind anterior margin and at each side of middle depression before posterior margin with more scattered punctures and interstices larger than point diameter. Ventral surface: mesosternum and metasternum smooth with fine punctation. Elytra with dark markings. In females, posterior margin of last sternite with variably deep and narrow emargination on midline. Aedeagus in dorsal view parallel and slightly asymmetrical near blunt tip; in lateral view broad, parallel and weakly curved in apical 2/3. Spermatheca with short ductus with few windings and U-shaped capsule with subparallel head.
