Diagnosis.
Larva. Following combination of characters: A) dorsal surface of labrum with submarginal arc of one plus 5-7 long, simple setae; B) labial palp segment II with a thumb-like distomedial protuberance, segment III conical; C) left mandible without setae at apex of mola; D) fore femur rather broad, length ca. 3 × maximum width, dorsal margin with 10-12 curved, spine-like setae and a partial second row near margin; E) claw with 15-17 denticles; F) paraproct distally not expanded, with ca. 13 stout, marginal spines.
Description.
Larva (Figs 11 View Figure 11 , 12 View Figure 12 , 42b View Figure 42 , 47a View Figure 47 ). Body length 3.6-3.7 mm. Cerci ca. 2/3 of body length. Paracercus ca. 2/3 of cerci length. Antenna approx. twice as long as head length.
Colouration. Head dorsally light brown, thorax and abdomen dorsally brown, with bright pattern as in Fig. 42b View Figure 42 . Fore protoptera light brown with distinct brown striation. Head, thorax, and abdomen ventrally brown with bright pattern as in Fig. 47a View Figure 47 . Legs ecru, femur with two partly merged distomedial brown spots, apex with brown spot, tibia with distomedial brown area. Caudalii light brown, with a brown band at ca. 1/3 of cerci, cerci brown in distal part.
Antenna (Fig. 12f View Figure 12 ) with scape and pedicel subcylindrical, without distolateral process at scape.
Labrum (Fig. 11a View Figure 11 ). 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 5-7 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 setae; ventral surface with ca. six short, spine-like setae near lateral and anterolateral margin.
Right mandible (Fig. 11b, c View Figure 11 ). Incisor and kinetodontium fused. Incisor with four 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. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present and many thin setae distally at base of mola.
Left mandible (Fig. 11d, e View Figure 11 ). 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. 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. 11f View Figure 11 ). Lingua shorter than superlinguae. Lingua longer than broad; medial tuft of stout setae well developed, short; distal half laterally expanded. Superlinguae distally rounded; lateral margin angulate; fine, long, simple setae along distal margin.
Maxilla (Fig. 11g View Figure 11 ). 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 medium to long, simple setae. Maxillary palp 1.3 × as long as length of galea-lacinia; 2-segmented; palp segment II 1.6 × 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. 11h, i View Figure 11 ). 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 and one medium, robust, pectinate setae; outer margin with four 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 four medium, simple setae in anteromedial 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 0.9 × 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 0.8 × width of base of segment III; ventral surface with short, fine, simple setae; dorsally with a row of 6-8 medium, spine-like, simple setae near outer margin. Segment III conical; apex rounded; length 1.1 × width; ventrally covered with short, spine-like, simple setae and short, fine, simple setae.
