Diagnosis.
Larva. Following combination of characters differentiates L. nabire sp. nov. from other species of the group Labiobaetis petersorum : A) labrum length 0.6 × maximal width (Fig. 21a View Figure 21 ); B) both mandibles with smooth margin between prostheca and mola (Fig. 21c, e View Figure 21 ); C) labial palp segment II with thumb-like, distomedial protuberance, distal margin of protuberance slightly concave; segment III oblong (Fig. 23d View Figure 23 ); D) paraglossa dorsally with two long, spine-like setae near inner, distal margin (Fig. 23c View Figure 23 ); E) tibia with row of short, stout, apically rounded setae on dorsal margin (Fig. 24e View Figure 24 ); posterior surface without scattered, stout setae; F) claw with ca. nine denticles (Fig. 24g View Figure 24 ); G) posterior margin of abdominal tergum IV with triangular spines, mostly slightly wider than long (Fig. 25c View Figure 25 ); H) legs with hypodermal, oblong, orange-brown spot medially on posterior side of femur (Fig. 20a View Figure 20 ).

Abdominal terga VI, IX and partly X brighter; I-IX laterally with bright marks. Thorax and abdomen ventrally off-white. Legs with different shades of grey and brown as in Fig. 20b View Figure 20 ; femur with elongate proxomedial and distodorsal blanks. Caudalii grey-brown.

Dorsally with medium, fine, simple setae scattered over surface; submarginal arc of setae composed of ca. eight long, simple setae. Ventrally with marginal row of setae composed of anterolateral long, feathered setae and medial long, bifid setae.
Right mandible (Fig. 21c, d View Figure 21 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with three denticles, outer denticle blade-like enlarged; kinetodontium with four denticles, inner margin of innermost denticle with row of thin setae. Prostheca robust, apically denticulate. Margin between prostheca and mola straight, smooth, without denticles. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present.
Left mandible (Fig. 21e, f View Figure 21 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with four denticles, outer denticle blade-like enlarged; kinetodontium with three denticles. Prostheca robust, apicolaterally with small denticles and comb-shaped structure. Margin between prostheca and mola straight, smooth, without denticles. Subtriangular process above level of area between prostheca and mola. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present.
Both mandibles with lateral margins almost straight.
Hypopharynx and superlinguae (Fig. 22a View Figure 22 ). Lingua longer than superlinguae. Lingua longer than broad; medial tuft of stout setae well developed, distolaterally with two additional tufts of setae; distal half laterally not expanded. Superlinguae distolaterally protruding; lateral margins rounded; fine, long, simple setae along distal margin.
Maxilla (Fig. 22b-e View Figure 22 ). Galea-lacinia ventrally with two simple, apical setae below canines. Inner dorsal row of setae with three denti-setae, distal denti-seta tooth-like, middle and proximal denti-setae slender, bifid and pectinate. Medially with one feathered spine-like seta and ca. eight long, simple setae. Maxillary palp approx. as long as length of galea-lacinia; 2-segmented; palp segment II approx. as long as segment I, and narrower; setae on maxillary palp fine, simple, scattered over surface of segments I and II; apex of last segment without distolateral excavation, apically pointed, constricted.
Labium (Fig. 23a-e View Figure 23 ). Glossa basally broad, narrowing toward apex; much shorter than paraglossa; inner margin with ca. seven spine-like seta; apex with three long, robust, apically pectinate setae; outer margin with ca. six spine-like setae; ventral surface with fine, simple, scattered setae. Paraglossa sub-rectangular, slightly curved inward; apex rounded; with three rows of long, robust, distally pectinate setae in apical area; dorsally with two long, spine-like setae near inner margin. Labial palp with segment I approx. as long as length of segments II and III combined.
