Diagnosis.
Larva. Following combination of characters: A) dorsal surface of labrum with submarginal arc of one plus seven long, simple setae; B) labial palp segment II with a thumb-like distomedial protuberance, segment III conical; C) mola of right mandible proximally beginning with a double hump; D) hypopharynx with medial tuft of stout setae poorly developed; E) fore femur rather broad, length ca. 3 × maximum width, dorsal margin with 10-13 curved, spine-like setae and a partial second row near margin; F) claw with 15-17 denticles; G) posterior margin of tergum IV with rounded spines, wider than long.
Description.
Larva (Figs 13 View Figure 13 , 14 View Figure 14 , 42c View Figure 42 , 47b View Figure 47 ). Body length 3-4 mm. Cerci ca. 2/3 of body length. Paracercus ca. 2/3 of cerci length. Antenna approx. 2.5 × as long as head length.
Colouration. Head, thorax, and abdomen dorsally brown, with dark brown markings as in Fig. 42c View Figure 42 . Fore protoptera light brown with brown striation. Head, thorax, and abdomen ventrally brown. Legs light brown, femur with a distomedial brown spot, apically brown. Caudalii light brown, with a brown band at ca. 1/3 of cerci.
Antenna (Fig. 14f View Figure 14 ) with scape and pedicel subcylindrical, without distolateral process at scape.
Labrum (Fig. 13a View Figure 13 ). Rectangular, length 0.7 × maximum width. Distal margin with medial emargination and a small process. Dorsally with medium, fine, simple setae scattered over surface; submarginal arc of setae composed of one plus seven long, simple setae, the first two setae after the submedian seta are close together. Ventrally with marginal row of setae composed of lateral and anterolateral long, feathered setae and medial long, bifid, pectinate setae; ventral surface with ca. eight short, spine-like setae near lateral and anterolateral margin.
Right mandible (Fig. 13b, c View Figure 13 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with five denticles; kinetodontium with three denticles, inner margin of innermost denticle with a row of thin setae. Prostheca robust, apically denticulate. Margin between prostheca and mola with a pronounced hump, mola proximally beginning with a double hump. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present and many thin setae distally at base of mola.
Left mandible (Fig. 13d-f View Figure 13 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with three denticles; kinetodontium with three denticles. Prostheca robust, apically with small denticles and comb-shaped structure. Margin between prostheca and mola 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 and partly with minute secondary dentation at the tips. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present. Comb-shaped structure at base of mola present.
Both mandibles with lateral margins slightly convex. Basal half with fine, simple setae scattered over dorsal surface.
Hypopharynx and superlinguae (Fig. 13g View Figure 13 ). Lingua longer than superlinguae. Lingua longer than broad; medial tuft of stout setae poorly developed; distal half not expanded. Superlinguae distally straight; lateral margin angulate; fine, long, simple setae along distal margin.
Maxilla (Fig. 13h View Figure 13 ). Galea-lacinia ventrally with two simple, apical setae under 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 bipectinate, spine-like seta and four or five long, simple setae. Maxillary palp 1.2 × as long as length of galea-lacinia; 2-segmented; palp segment II 1.4 × length of segment I; setae on maxillary palp fine, simple, scattered over surface of segments I and II; apex of last segment slightly pointed, without excavation at inner distolateral margin.
Labium (Fig. 13i View Figure 13 ). Glossa basally broad, narrowing toward apex; shorter than paraglossa; inner margin with ca. nine short, stout, spine-like setae plus distalmost one much longer, less robust, spine-like seta; apex with two long, one medium and one short, robust, pectinate setae; outer margin with four spine-like setae; ventral surface with fine, simple, scattered setae. Paraglossa sub-rectangular, curved inward; apex rounded; with three rows of long, robust, distally pectinate setae in apical area and 3-5 medium, simple setae in anteromedial area and one fine, simple seta in proximomedial area; outer margin with some long, spine-like setae; dorsally with a row of five long, spine-like, simple setae near inner margin. Labial palp with segment I 0.8 × length of segments II and III combined. Segment I ventrally with short, fine, simple setae and one short, stout, simple seta at inner margin. Segment II with thumb-like distomedial protuberance; distomedial protuberance 0.6 × width of base of segment III; ventral surface with short, fine, simple setae; dorsally with a row of seven medium, spine-like, simple setae near outer margin. Segment III conical; apex slightly truncate; length 1.0 × width; ventrally covered with short, spine-like, simple setae and short, fine, simple setae.
Hind protoptera (Fig. 14g View Figure 14 ) minute.
Foreleg (Fig. 14a, b View Figure 14 ). Ratio of foreleg segments 1.4:1.0:0.8:0.3. Femur. Length ca. 3 × maximum width.
