Diagnosis.

Larva. Following combination of characters: A) dorsal surface of labrum with submarginal arc of 1 + 6-8 long, simple setae, the first two setae after the central seta are closely together; B) right mandible with a pronounced hump between prostheca and mola; C) labial palp segment II with a thumb-like distomedial protuberance, segment III conical; D) maxillary palp segment II large and bent inwards, much longer than segment I; E) fore femur rather broad, length ca. 3.4 × width, dorsal margin with a row of 12-16 curved, spine-like setae and many spine-like apically rounded setae along margin; F) paraproct distally not expanded, with ca. 21 stout marginal spines.

Head, thorax, and abdomen ventrally brown, abdominal segment X light brown, legs light brown, dorsal margin of femur brown, caudal filaments light brown and with a dark brown band at 1/3 of cerci.

Dorsally with medium, fine, simple setae scattered over surface; submarginal arc of setae composed of 1 + 6-8 long, simple setae. Ventrally with marginal row of setae composed of lateral and anterolateral long, feathered setae and medial long, bifid, pectinate setae; ventral surface with six short, spine-like setae near lateral and anterolateral margin.

Right mandible ( Fig. 33b, c View Figure 33 ). Incisors fused. Outer and inner sets of denticles with 4 + 3 denticles and one minute intermediate denticle. Inner margin of innermost denticle with a row of thin setae. Prostheca robust, apically denticulate. Margin between prostheca and mola with a pronounced hump and minute denticles on margin of hump. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present.

Left mandible ( Fig. 33d, e View Figure 33 ). Incisors fused. Outer and inner sets of denticles with 3 + 3 denticles. Prostheca robust, apically with small denticles and comb-shaped structure. Margin between prostheca and mola slightly convex, with minute denticles toward subtriangular process. Subtriangular process long and slender, above level of area between prostheca and mola. Denticles of mola apically constricted. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present.

Both mandibles with lateral margins almost straight. Basal half with fine, simple setae scattered over dorsal surface.

Hypopharynx ( Fig. 33f View Figure 33 ). Lingua approx. as long as superlingua. Lingua longer than broad; medial tuft of stout setae well developed; distal half laterally expanded. Superlingua straight; lateral margin rounded; fine, long, simple setae along distal margin.

Maxilla ( Fig. 33g View Figure 33 ). Galea-lacinia with one simple, robust apical seta under crown. 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 bipectinate, spine-like seta and five long, simple setae. Maxillary palp 1.6 × as long as length of galea-lacinia; two segmented; palp segment II 1.4 × length of segment I; setae on maxillary palp fine, simple, scattered over surface of segments I and II, very dense on segment II; apex of last segment slightly pointed, with excavation at inner distolateral margin.

Labium ( Fig. 33h View Figure 33 ). Glossa basally broad, narrowing toward apex; shorter than paraglossa; inner margin with nine or ten spine-like setae, distalmost seta much longer and less robust than other setae; apex with two long and one medium, robust, pectinate setae and one short, robust seta; outer margin with 5-7 spine-like setae increasing in length distally; ventral surface with short, fine, simple, scattered setae. Paraglossa sub-rectangular, curved inward; apex rounded; with three rows of long, robust, distally pectinate setae in apical area; outer margin with row of three long, spine-like setae and 4-7 medium, simple setae in anteromedial area; dorsally with a row of 4-5 long, spine-like setae near inner margin. Labial palp with segment I 0.6 × length of segments II and III combined. Segment I ventrally with short, fine, simple setae. Segment II with thumb-like distomedial protuberance; distomedial protuberance 0.6 × width of base of segment III; inner and outer margin with short, fine, simple setae; dorsally with a row of 5-7 medium, spine-like, simple setae near outer margin. Segment III conical; apex slightly truncate; length 1.1 × width; ventrally covered with short, spine-like, simple setae and short, fine, simple setae.
