Larva. Following combination of characters: A) dorsal surface of labrum with submarginal arc of 1 + 7 long, feathered setae; B) labial palp segment II with broad thumb-like distomedial protuberance; C) fore femur rather broad, length 3.3 × maximum width, dorsal margin with a row of ca. 13 spine-like setae and some spine-like setae scattered along margin, D) spines at posterior margin of tergum IV triangular, longer than wide; E) paraproct distally not expanded, with 26-32 stout marginal spines.

Head, thorax, and abdomen dorsally dark brown, head and thorax with bright median, dorsal suture, thorax and abdomen with bright pattern as in Fig. 48a View Figure 48 , forewing pads light brown with darker striation. Head, thorax and abdominal segment I ventrally transparent, abdominal segments II–X ventrally brown, femur transparent, with a ventroproxomedial and dorsodistomedial brown streak and an apical brown spot, tibia and tarsus light brown ( Fig. 52d View Figure 52 ), caudal filaments light brown, 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 + 7 long, feathered setae. Ventrally with marginal row of setae composed of lateral and anterolateral long, feathered setae and medial long, bifid, pectinate setae; ventral surface with four short, spine-like setae near lateral and anterolateral margin.

Right mandible ( Fig. 11c, d View Figure 11 ). 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 slightly convex. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present.

Left mandible ( Fig. 11e, f View Figure 11 ). 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 straight, with minute denticles towards 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. 11g View Figure 11 ). Lingua longer than superlingua. Lingua approx. as broad as long; medial tuft of stout setae poorly developed; distal half not expanded. Superlingua rounded; lateral margin rounded; fine, long, simple setae along distal margin.

Maxilla ( Fig. 11h View Figure 11 ). Galea-lacinia with two simple, robust apical setae 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 four long, simple setae. Maxillary palp 1.4 × as long as length of galea-lacinia; two segmented; palp segment II 1.3 × length of segment I; setae on maxillary palp fine, simple, scattered over surface of segments I and II; apex of last segment constricted, with excavation at inner distolateral margin.

Labium ( Fig. 11i, j View Figure 11 ). Glossa basally broad, narrowing toward apex; shorter than paraglossa; inner margin with ten spine-like setae increasing in length distally; apex with two long and one medium, robust, pectinate setae and one short, robust seta; outer margin with six long spine-like setae increasing in length distally; ventral surface with short, fine, simple and short, spine-like setae. Paraglossa sub-rectangular, curved inward; apex rounded; with three rows of long, robust, distally pectinate setae in apical area and two medium, simple setae in anteromedial area; dorsally with a row of six long, spine-like setae near inner margin. Labial palp with segment I 0.9 × length of segments II and III combined. Segment I ventrally with short, fine, simple setae. Segment II with broad thumb-like distomedial protuberance; distomedial protuberance 0.7 × width of base of segment III; inner and outer margin with short, fine, simple setae; dorsally with a row of five medium, spine-like, simple setae near outer margin. Segment III conical; apex slightly pointed; length 1.1 × width; ventrally covered with short, spine-like, simple setae and short, fine, simple setae.

Dorsal margin with a row of ca. 13 spine-like setae and some spine-like setae scattered along margin; length of setae 0.18 × maximum width of femur. Apex rounded; with one pair of spine-like setae and some short, stout setae. Many stout, lanceolate setae scattered along the ventral margin; femoral patch absent. Tibia. Dorsal margin with a row of short, curved, spine-like setae; on apex one longer, curved, spine-like seta. Ventral margin with a row of curved, spine-like setae, on apex with several stout, partly bipectinate, spine-like setae and a tuft of long, fine, simple setae. Anterior surface scattered with stout, lanceolate setae. Patellotibial suture present on basal 1/2. Tarsus. Dorsal margin with a row of short, spine-like setae and fine, simple setae.
