Diagnosis.

Larva. Following combination of characters: A) dorsal surface of labrum with submarginal arc of 1 + 6 long, feathered setae; B) labial palp segment II with a thumb-like distomedial protuberance, segment III oblong and pointed; C) fore femur rather slender, length ca. 4 × maximum width, dorsal margin with a row of ca. 13 lanceolate, spine-like setae and some submarginal setae; D) mouthparts including maxillary palp and labial palp sclerotized, dark brown; E) paraproct distally not expanded, with 30-36 stout marginal spines.

Description.

Larva ( Figs 45 View Figure 45 , 46 View Figure 46 , 51b, c View Figure 51 , 52f View Figure 52 ). Body length 6.8-7.6 mm; antenna approximately 3 × as long as head length.

Colouration. Head, thorax, and abdomen dorsally brown to dark brown, head and thorax with bright median, dorsal suture; thorax and abdomen with bright pattern as in Fig. 51b, c View Figure 51 ; forewing pads with dark striation and mature larva additionally with bright striation close to margin. Head, thorax, and abdomen ventrally light brown to dark brown, legs with yellowish and brown pattern as in Fig. 52f View Figure 52 , mouthparts including maxillary and labial palp brown. Caudal filaments brown with a darker section in the middle part.

Antenna with scape and pedicel subcylindrical, with well-developed distolateral process at scape; flagellum with lanceolate spines and fine, simple setae on apex of each segment.

Labrum ( Fig. 45a, b View Figure 45 ). Rectangular, length 0.8 × 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 1 + 6 long, feathered setae. Ventrally with marginal row of setae composed of lateral and anterolateral long, feathered setae and medial long, bifid, pectinate setae; ventral surface with eight short, spine-like setae near lateral and anterolateral margin.

Right mandible ( Fig. 45c, d View Figure 45 ). Incisors fused. Outer and inner sets of denticles with 3 + 3 denticles. Inner margin of innermost denticle with a row of thin setae. Prostheca robust, apically denticulate. Margin between prostheca and mola straight. Tuft of setae at apex of mola present.

Left mandible ( Fig. 45e, f View Figure 45 ). Incisors fused. Outer and inner sets of denticles with 3 + 3 denticles. Prostheca robust, apically with small denticles and comb-shaped structure. Margin between prostheca and mola straight. 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 present.

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

Hypopharynx ( Fig. 45g View Figure 45 ). Lingua longer than superlingua. Lingua longer than broad; medial tuft of stout setae well developed, short; distal half laterally expanded. Superlingua straight; lateral margin rounded; fine, long, simple setae along distal margin.

Maxilla ( Fig. 45h View Figure 45 ). Galea-lacinia with two simple, robust apical setae under crown. 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 six long, simple setae. Maxillary palp 1.4 × as long as length of galea-lacinia; two segmented; palp segment II 1.3 × 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. 45i, j View Figure 45 ). Glossa basally broad, narrowing toward apex; shorter than paraglossa; inner margin with 9-11 spine-like setae increasing in length distally; apex with two long and one medium, robust setae; outer margin with nine or ten long, spine-like setae increasing in length distally; ventral surface with short, fine, simple setae. Paraglossa sub-rectangular, curved inward; apex rounded; with three rows of long, robust, distally pectinate setae in apical area and a row of four medium, simple setae in anteromedial area; dorsally with a row of six or seven long, spine-like 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 and some short, stout, simple setae at inner margin. Segment II with thumb-like distomedial protuberance; distomedial protuberance 0.6 × width of base of segment III; inner and outer margin with short, fine, simple setae; dorsally with a row of eight medium, spine-like, simple setae near outer margin. Segment III oblong; apex slightly pointed; length 1.3 × width; ventrally covered with short, spine-like, simple setae and short, fine, simple setae.

Dorsal margin with a row of ca. 13 spine-like setae and some spine-like setae near margin; length of setae 0.16 × maximum width of femur. Apex rounded; with one pair of spine-like setae and some short, stout setae. Many stout, lanceolate setae scattered along the ventral margin; femoral patch reduced to a few setae. Tibia. Dorsal margin with a row of stout, lanceolate setae and additional stout, lanceolate setae near margin.
