LARVAE OF APHODIINAE — JERATH 69 



phoba occupied by series of hairlike structures, arranged irregularly. 

 Crepide small; epitorma asjrmmetrical. Tormae not similar in size 

 and shape; only dexiotorma produced cephalad and caudad. 



Maxillary stridulatory area with an irregular row of four or five 

 blunt teeth; none on palpifer. Galea dorsally with four stout setae, 

 ventrally with a long seta and a longitudinal row of six or seven 

 short setae. Lacinia with a terminal uncus of two ventral toothlike 

 lobes, dorsally with a row of four or five long setae near the mesal edge 

 and a short seta posteriorly. Palpifer not differentiated. 



Abdominal segments 1-5 each with three dorsal annulets; each 

 annulet with a transverse row of setae. Segment 6 with two dorsal 

 annulets, each with a transverse row of setae. Segments 7-9 each 

 with two transverse rows of setae but dorsa not divided. Dorsa 

 of segment 10 with a single transverse row of setae. Each abdominal 

 spiracle-bearing area with two setae ventrally and one or two setae 

 dorsally. 



Raster with teges of 19-23 hamate setae arranged more or less in four 

 rows of 5-7 setae in the inner rows and 4-6 setae in the outer rows; 

 setae more or less caudally directed. Lower anal lobe divided into 

 two laterally placed sublobes.

Material examined: Four third-stage larvae and two second- 

 stage larvae, labeled "2393, box 9/129, Selma, Ala." (USNM). 



Description: Maximum width of head capsule of third-stage larva 

 1.35-1.42 mm. Cranium light yellow, surface smooth. Frons on 

 each side with two short posterior frontal setae and a microsensilla, a 

 short anterior frontal setae and a microsensilla, a long exterior frontal 

 seta and a microsensilla, and a long seta at each anterior angle. Frontal 

 sutures indistinct. Second and third antennal segments subequal, 

 first longer than second or third. Clypeus not marked into preclypeus 

 and postclypeus; clypeus with three setae on each side. 



Epipharynx slightly broader than long. Protophoba bistichous on 

 left and monostichous on right; protophoba with 18 or 19 micro- 

 sensillae. Laeopboba polystichous and mesophoba monostichous. 

 Crepide W-shaped and with two microsensillae. Tormae asymmetri- 

 cal, dexiotorma produced cephalad and caudad, laeotorma weakly 

 sclerotized and slightly produced caudad and cephalad. 



Scissorial area of left mandible with Si, S2, S3 and S4 and of right 

 mandible with S1+2 and S3+4. Each mandible dorsally with two setae. 



Maxillary stridulatory area with an irregular row of numerous small 

 blunt teeth. Galea with a single apical uncus, dorsally with four 

 stout setae and ventrally with a long seta and a row of six or seven
