Diagnosis.

Larva. Following combination of characters: A) dorsal surface of labrum with submarginal arc of 17-21 long, clavate setae; B) labial palp segment II with a thumb-like distomedial protuberance, segment III slightly pentagonal; C) left mandible without setae at apex of mola; D) fore femur rather slender, length ca. 4 × maximum width, dorsal margin with 8-11 curved, spine-like setae; E) paraproct distally expanded, with 39-43 stout, marginal spines.

Description.

Larva (Figs 29 View Figure 29 , 30 View Figure 30 , 44c View Figure 44 ). Body length 3.1-5 mm. Cerci ca. 1/2 of body length. Paracercus: ca. 2/3 of cerci length. Antenna approx. twice as long as head length.

Colouration. Head, thorax, and abdomen dorsally brown, thorax with pattern as in Fig. 44c View Figure 44 , fore protoptera brown. Head, thorax, and abdomen ventrally light brown. Legs light brown, femur with a brown distomedial spot connected to a brown streak along ventral margin, apex brown. Caudalii light brown.

Antenna (Fig. 30f View Figure 30 ) with scape and pedicel subcylindrical, without distolateral process at scape.

Labrum (Fig. 29a, b View Figure 29 ). Rectangular, length 0.7 × maximum width. Distal margin with medial emargination and a small process. Dorsally with medium to long, fine, simple setae scattered over surface; submarginal arc of setae composed of 17-21 long, clavate setae. Ventrally with marginal row of setae composed of anterolateral long, feathered setae and medial long, bifid setae; ventral surface with ca. five short, spine-like setae near lateral and anterolateral margin.

Right mandible (Fig. 29c, d View Figure 29 ). 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 slightly convex, with minute denticles. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present.

Left mandible (Fig. 29e, f View Figure 29 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with five denticles; kinetodontium with three 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 absent.

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

Hypopharynx and superlinguae (Fig. 29g View Figure 29 ). Lingua approx. as long as superlinguae. Lingua longer than broad; medial tuft of stout setae well developed; distal half laterally expanded. Superlinguae distally straight; lateral margin rounded; fine, long, simple setae along distal margin.

Maxilla (Fig. 29h View Figure 29 ). 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 three or four medium to long, simple setae. Maxillary palp 1.4 × as long as length of galea-lacinia; 2-segmented; palp segment II 1.5 × length of segment I; setae on maxillary palp fine, simple, scattered over surface of segments I and II; apex of last segment rounded, with excavation at inner distolateral margin.

Labium (Fig. 29i View Figure 29 ). Glossa basally broad, narrowing toward apex; shorter than paraglossa; inner margin with six spine-like setae increasing in length distally; apex with two long and one medium, robust, pectinate setae; outer margin with five spine-like setae increasing in length distally; 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 a row of three or four medium, simple setae in anteromedial area; dorsally with a row of four 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. Segment II with thumb-like distomedial protuberance; distomedial protuberance 0.7 × width of base of segment III; ventral surface with short, fine, simple setae; dorsally with two long, spine-like, simple setae near outer margin. Segment III slightly pentagonal; apex rounded; length 1.3 × width; ventrally covered with short, spine-like, simple setae and short, fine, simple setae.

Hind protoptera absent.

Foreleg (Fig. 30a, b View Figure 30 ). Ratio of foreleg segments 1.1:1.0:0.4:0.1. Femur. Length ca. 4 × maximum width. Dorsal margin with 8-11 long, curved, spine-like setae; length of setae 0.24 × maximum width of femur. Apex rounded, with a pair of long, curved, spine-like setae and one or two short, stout setae. Many stout, lanceolate setae scattered along ventral margin; femoral patch absent. Tibia. Dorsal margin with a row of short, spine-like setae, on apex one longer, spine-like seta. Ventral margin with a row of short, curved, spine-like setae, on apex some longer, partly bipectinate setae and a tuft of fine, simple setae. Anterior surface scattered with stout, lanceolate setae. Patellotibial suture present on basal 1/3. Tarsus. Dorsal margin with some fine, simple setae. Ventral margin with a row of curved, spine-like setae.
