forelegs are shown in Figure 610; in the 2nd stage tarsus with ventral comb 

 of spinules; spinule near basal seta of claw absent (Figure 611). 



Abdominal segments from segment 2 onward with a long anterior-angle 

 and lateral setae; medioanal seta also long from segment 4 onward 

 (Figure 609). Section "a" of anal legs longer than section "b." 



Second stage. Ventral comb of spinules of fore tarsi present; seta of 

 claw displaced to its base.

FIGURES 609-614. Plectrocnemia conspersa Curt.: 



609 — young lst-stage larva; 610 — part of pronotum, propleuron and right foreleg 

 of lst-stage larva, posterior; 611 —tarsus and claw of foreleg of 2nd-stage larva; 

 612 — anteclypeus and labrum of pupa; 613 — right mandible of pupa, dorsal; 614 ■ 

 pupal case (609-611 - after Siltala; 612-514 - after Nielsen). 



Pupa. Length of male pupae 10.0—11.6 mm, of female pupae about 12 mm. 

 Antennae of male pupae reaching abdominal segment 9, those of female 

 pupae segment 6; 1st antennal segment with 3 setae laterally; one or two of 

 them very small. Anteclypeus (Figure 612) convex laterally and with deep 

 grooves separating it from the labrum; lateral seta very small; other 

 2 setae long; labrum short, with rounded anterior margin and sides; 2 very 

 small light thick setae at the sides of the labrum near the anterior margin; 

 a row of 4 setae posteriorly; the 2 median setae of this group thick 

 and long, almost like the setae on the clypeus; the other 2 setae short, thin; 

 one of them situated near the margin, near the base. Mandibles (Figure 613) 

 sickle -shaped, with broad, short, almost hemispherical base; the long, 

 curved part of the mandible slightly flattened dorsoventrally with finely 

 serrated inner margin; distal part with finely tuberculate surface; outer 

 setae short, of the same length, situated between the apicobasal part. 



Wing sheaths reaching middle of segment 4. Mid-tarsus with very thin, 

 light natatorial seta, present dorsally on segments 1 and 2, ventrally only
