Resseliella maxima Gagne; new species

Externally, infested areas of the stems were dark brown or black. Dissection of infested plantsrevealed orange larvae feeding within and at the leading edge of these darkened areas (Fig. 1). Initial feeding appeared to be confined to the phloem with larvae moving into the xylem and pith over time.
