Higgins larva with small bulbous head, constriction behind head, and elongate trunk, divided into thorax and abdomen; head and trunk width similar in early instars. Anterior part of head with smooth surface; posterior part with numerous longitudinal folds, only interrupted in positions with scalids. Mouth cone with eight, radially arranged oral striae and oral teeth. Introvert with eight scalid rows. Introvert Row 6 with pen nib scalids; Row 7 with bifurcated scalids; Row 8 with alternating trifurcated and kite-shaped scalids. Thorax region accordion-like, with numerous (+40) longitudinal zigzag folds. Abdomen with fewer (ca. 20) more straight plicae, with only one zigzag fold. Thorax region slightly, but not conspicuously, longer than abdomen. Anterior setae include one lateral, and one ventral pair; posterior setae include one dorsal and one lateral pair. Toes long and slender, with distal ¼ forming offset tips; proximal parts of toes supported by toe lamellae on dorsal side.
