Description: Maximum width of head capsule of third-stage 

 larva 1.29-1.42 mm. Cranium light j^ellowish brown to yellowish 

 brown, surface smooth except two depressions on each side on the 

 frons, tliree dorsoepicranial setae and four microsensillae on each side. 

 First antennal segment longer than second or third, second and third 

 subequal. 



Epipharynx with protophoba tristichous on left and monostichous 

 on right; protophoba wiih 19-21 microsensillae. Tormae not similar 

 in size and shape, dexiotorma produced cephalad and caudad, laeo- 

 torma only produced cephalad. Crepide small and irregular in out- 

 line; epitorma asymmetrical, flattened apically and bent towards 

 laeophoba. 



Maxillary stridulatory area with an irregular row of 7-11 conical 

 teeth; palpifer with one or two teeth. Galea ventrally with one long 

 seta and a longitudinal row of 11 or 12 short setae, dorsally with five 

 setae. Lacinia dorsally with a row of five long setae near the mesal 

 edge and one short seta posteriorly. 



Dorsal annulets of abdominal segments 1-5 with setation as follows: 

 each prescutum with six short setae, each scutum with two or three 

 long setae and 3-5 short setae on each side, and each scutellum with 

 10 short setae. Each abdominal spiracle-bearing area with two 

 setae ventrally and one seta dorsally. 



Raster with two short, longitudinal palidia, surrounded on the
