Differential diagnosis.
Larva. Following combination of characters: A) dorsal surface of labrum with submedian seta and two long, simple setae in submarginal position (Fig. 16b View Figure 16 ); B) right mandible: incisor with four denticles, kinetodontium with three denticles (Fig. 16c View Figure 16 ); C) left mandible: incisor with four denticles, kinetodontium with three denticles; margin between prostheca and mola straight, with four or five long, setae-like processes (Fig. 16d View Figure 16 ); D) fore femur very slender, length ca. 4.8 × maximum width, dorsal margin with eight or nine curved, spine-like setae (Fig. 19a View Figure 19 ); E) tibia dorsally with row of spine-like setae; F) claw with 14-17 relatively long denticles (Fig. 19c View Figure 19 ); G) hind protoptera absent; H) tergalii on abdominal segments I-VII; I) paraproct with 10-14 marginal spines (Fig. 20b View Figure 20 ); J) posterior margins of abdominal terga: I smooth, without spines; II-IX with triangular, pointed spines (Fig. 20a View Figure 20 ).
Description.
Larva (Figs 15 View Figure 15 - 20 View Figure 20 ). Body length 3.7-4.6 mm. Caudalii broken. Antennae broken.
Colouration (Fig. 15a, b View Figure 15 ). Head, thorax, and abdomen dorsally brown, with lively bright pattern as in Fig. 15a View Figure 15 . Noticeable are the bright beige abdominal terga I, IV (with brown marks), and VIII-X. Head, thorax, and abdomen ventrally pale brown, abdominal sterna VIII-X brighter. Legs pale brown, femur darker in distal 2/3. Caudalii bright beige.
Labrum (Fig. 16a, b View Figure 16 ). Length 0.7 × maximum width. Distal margin with medial emargination and a small process. Dorsally with medium, fine, simple setae scattered over surface; submedian seta and two long, simple, submarginal setae. Ventrally with marginal row of setae composed of lateral and anterolateral long, feathered setae and medial long, bifid, pectinate setae.
Right mandible (Fig. 16c View Figure 16 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with four denticles; kinetodontium with three denticles, inner margin of innermost denticle without row of thin setae. Prostheca stick-like, apicolaterally denticulate. Margin between prostheca and mola straight, with row of setae-like processes. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present.
Left mandible (Fig. 16d View Figure 16 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with four denticles; kinetodontium with three denticles. Prostheca robust, apically with small denticles and comb-shaped structure. Margin between prostheca and mola straight, with four or five long, setae-like processes. Tuft of setae at apex of mola absent.
Hypopharynx and superlinguae (Fig. 17a View Figure 17 ). Lingua shorter than Hypopharynx superlinguae . Lingua longer than broad; medial tuft of stout setae poorly developed, broad; distal half laterally not expanded. Superlinguae distally straight; lateral margins rounded; fine, long, simple setae along distal margin.
Maxilla (Fig. 17b-d View Figure 17 ). Galea-lacinia ventrally with two simple, apical setae under canines. Medially with one spine-like seta and ca. four long, simple setae. Maxillary palp ca. 1.3 × as long as length of galea-lacinia; 2-segmented; palp segment II ca. 1.3 × as long as segment I; setae on maxillary palp fine, simple, scattered over surface of segments I and II; apex of last segment pointed.
Labium (Fig. 12a-e View Figure 12 ). Glossa basally broad, narrowing toward apex; slightly shorter than paraglossa; inner margin with nine or ten spine-like setae; apex with two long and one medium, robust setae; outer margin with ca. eight spine-like setae; ventral surface with fine, simple, scattered setae. Paraglossa curved inward; apex rounded; with three rows of long, robust, distally pectinate setae in apical area and ca. four medium, simple setae in anteromedial area; dorsally with row of four long, spine-like, simple setae near inner margin. Labial palp with segment I 0.7 × length of segments II and III combined. Segment I ventrally with short, fine, simple setae. Segment II without protuberance; ventral surface with short, fine, simple setae; dorsally with row of ca. five long, spine-like setae. Segment III slightly pentagonal, inner distal margin slightly concave, with few setae-like processes; length ca. 1.2 × maximum width; ventrally with short, spine-like, simple setae and short, fine, simple setae.
Hind protoptera: Absent.
Foreleg (Fig. 19a-c View Figure 19 ). Ratio of foreleg segments 1.3:1.0:0.6:0.2. Femur. Very slender, length ca. 4.8 × maximum width. Dorsal margin slightly concave, with eight or nine curved, spine-like setae; length of setae 0.29 × maximum width of femur. Apex rounded, with pair of spine-like setae and medium, fine, simple setae. Row of stout, lanceolate setae on ventral margin; femoral patch absent. Tibia. Dorsal margin with row of medium, spine-like setae, on apex one seta somewhat longer and with rounded apex. Ventral margin with row of short to medium curved, spine-like setae, on apex two longer, spine-like, pectinate setae. Anterior surface with stout, lanceolate setae along ventral margin. Patellatibial suture present on basal half. Tarsus. Dorsal margin bare. Ventral margin with row of curved, spine-like setae. Claw with one row of 14-17 relatively long denticles; distally pointed; subapical setae absent.
