灰直纹螟是一种主要的产虫茶昆虫.对以化香为寄主的灰直纹螟及其虫茶形态学进行了系统研究.详细观察了灰直纹螟各虫态的形态特征,其中幼虫和蛹的形态记述为首次报道.灰直纹螟虫茶颗粒形状为长圆柱状;虫茶颗粒颜色主要有两种,其潘通U卡色号分别为黑7U和465U,黑7U占主导;虫茶颗粒大小分为5种规格,自规格一至规格五,虫茶颗粒长径、短径均逐渐增加;虫茶香气为清香型,汤色为红褐色,明亮,滋味醇和、鲜爽.研究结果为灰直纹螟——化香虫茶品种的准确鉴定提供了科学资料.
Orthopygia glaucinalis (Linnaeus) is the main insect which produces insect tea. A systematic study was carried out to research the morphological characteristics of Orthopygia glaucinalis reared on Platyearya Strobilacea Sieb.et Zuee and its insect tea. The morphological characteristics of all life stages of O. glaucinalis were carefully observed and described, and this was the first report for the morphological characteristics of the larva and pupa of O. glaucinalis. The shape of insect tea was long cylindrical; the particles of insect tea was in two colors coded Black 7U and 465U, and Black 7U was the predominantly colors; the granular size of insect tea was divided into five specifications, and it became longer and wider from specification one to five; the insect tea had the aroma of fen-flavor, liquor color of reddish brown and bright, taste of alcohol and fresh. The study provided scientific data for the accurate identification of O. glaucina]is-P. Strobilacea insect tea.
