Material. (8 mature larvae), collected in the field: ITALY bor., Sella Nevea, Monte Canin, 1800–2000 m a.s.l., 26.vi.2004, H. Winkelmann leg. (8) (on Achillea clavennae L.).

Differential diagnosis. Mandible with three teeth (x D. crinitus , D. reichei and Hypera -species) ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 36 – 42 ). Prs and pds1–4 on thoracic segments bacilliform (x D. comatus , D. cyrtus , D. oxalidis , D. palumbarius and D. tesselatus ). Pds2 on dorsum of meso- and metathorax not the shortest seta (x D. palumbarius and D. tesselatus ). Pds2 and pds3 on meso- and metathorax not close each other (x D. intermedius , D. oxalidis and D. tesselatus ) (all Fig. 40 View FIGURES 36 – 42 ). Prn, prs and pds1–4 on thoracic segments and prs, pds1–5 on abdominal segments I–VIII short (x D. cyrtus , D. intermedius and D. oxalidis ) ( Figs 40–41 View FIGURES 36 – 42 ). Prs and pds1–5 on abdominal segments I– VIII bacilliform or clubform (x D. comatus , D. cyrtus and D. oxalidis ). Prodorsum of abdominal segments I– VII with two setae (prs1–2) (x D. austerus , D. comatus , D. crinitus , D. cyrtus , D. osellai , D. oxalidis , D. palumbarius , D. reichei and D. tesselatus ). Pds 1–5 in line on abdominal segments I–VII, not pds2 positioned anteriad to pds3 and pds4 anteriad to pds5 (x D. cyrtus , D. intermedius , D. oxalidis and D. tesselatus ). Pds4 on dorsum of abdominal segments I–VI not the longest seta (x D. palumbarius ) (all Fig. 41 View FIGURES 36 – 42 ).

Description of mature larva.

Anterior margin of clypeus distinctly concave ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 36 – 42 ) with strong pigmentation. Labrum dark brown; anterior margin with deep median excision, posterior margin with short and wide median projection ( Fig. 36 View FIGURES 36 – 42 ). Mandibles with three sharp teeth apically ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 36 – 42 ).

THORAX. Spiracle with oval airtubes oriented posterio-dorsad.

Plbs2 short, plbs1, 3 very short, about 0.3 x plbs2; prms long as plbs1; both lig minute ( Fig. 37 View FIGURES 36 – 42 ).

Thorax ( Fig. 40 View FIGURES 36 – 42 ). Bases of setae strongly pigmented, setae unpigmented. Setae short, clubform or bacilliform to hairform (dpls, vpls, pda, msts). Prothorax: prn1, 7 very short, about 0.5 x remaining setae on pronotum. Vpls2 about 0.5 x vpls1. Pedal lobe with three (three to five) setae (pda); pda1–2 long, pda2 about 0.75 x pda1; remaining one (one to three) seta minute. Msts minute. Meso- and metathorax: pds2, pds4 on mesothorax and pds2–4 on metathorax short, about 0.5 x prs, pds1, 3 on mesothorax and prs, pds1 on metathorax. Dls1–2 not closed each other; dls1 short as pds4, dls2 longer than dls1, about 1.3 x. Ss long as dls1. Dpls and vpls long as dls2. Pedal lobe with three (three to five) setae (pda); pda1–2 long, pda2 about 0.75 x pda1; remaining one (one to three) seta minute. Msts minute.

Abdomen. Bases of setae strongly pigmented, setae unpigmented. Setae short, clubform or bacilliform to hairform (dpls, vpls, lsts, msts). Abdominal segments I–VIII ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 36 – 42 ): pds1–5 approximately in line, pds2 and pds4 positioned slightly anteriad; pds2–5 short, about 0.6 x pds1.
