Full-grown larva. Length 9.0— 11.2 mm. Head chestnut brown dorsally 

 (Figure 175, A), with dark reddish brown stripe in antennal area anterior 

 to eye to anterior margin. Dorsal and ventral surface densely spinulose, 

 except for a narrow band around occipital foramen; ventral spinules 

 smaller and less dense; a large, bare area near occipital foramen. Gula 

 small, wide, finely spinulose, with rounded sides (Figure 175, B). Fronto- 

 clypeus punctate anteriorly, distinct wedge-shaped pattern of 9 large brown 

 dots on posterior part; 2 dots on each side lateral to frontal sutures near 

 tentorial pit and lateral to posterior part of the wedge-shaped pattern; 

 3 large dots more posteriorly on each side some distance from the coronal 

 suture; several dots on the sides behind the eye. 



Anterior-margin setae moderately long, brown, intermediate seta longer 

 than median seta, lateral seta short, light, curved; anterior-frontal seta 

 the same, slightly thinner, procumbent; middle frontal seta small; posterior 

 frontal seta brownish, thin, long. Seta 7 situated anterior to antenna, 

 short, dark brown,thin. Seta 8 also dark, slightly shorter and thinner. 

 Seta 10 small, light, situated anterior to the eyes, as is seta 13. Seta 9 

 moderately long. Seta 11 short, very thin, level with middle of eye. Seta 

 12 short, thicker, light brownish. Seta 14 situated behind the eye, long, much 

 longer but thinner than 9, brown. Seta 15 situated nearby posteriorly, light 

 brown, almost as long as 14, but thinner. Seta 16 small, thin. Seta 17 

 situated anterior to the fork, short, very thin, brownish at the base. Ventral 

 seta 18 small, spine-shaped, sharp, only slightly smaller than seta 8. 



Dorsal sclerite of labrum short, occupying slightly raore than half the 

 surface; almost the whole anterior part broadly membranous; processes 

 lateral to wide median indentation, reddish brown, only slightly darker than 

 other part of the sclerite. Posterior-angle sclerites thin, oblong, brown. 

 Seta 1 light, relatively large, situated on the membrane; seta 2 slightly 

 larger, yellowish, situated near the process; seta 4 small, light, situated at 

 the angle of the indentation; seta 3 short, light, situated laterally near 

 margin; setae 5 and 6 large, yellowish. 



Mandibles long, black, reddish distally; hairs of brush transparent, 

 light; outer setae situated basally, dorsal seta short, ventral one small, 

 both brown. 



Pronotum (Figure 176) mat white, with several large, indistinct, light 

 brownish dots; surface outside dots finely spinulose. Anterior and lateral 

 margin grayish brown, with sinall, thin spinules. Posterior margin light 

 brownish, its spinules as on the surface but smaller; posterior margin 

 with black stripe in the middle, dark brown laterally; process of posterior 

 angle dark reddish brown, separated by a short, black stripe with large 

 black spot basally. Setae brown, primary anterior -angle seta larger than 

 the others (Figure 176). 



Mesonotum (Figure 17?) darker in middle, light chestnut brown, snow 

 white laterally, entire surface densely spinulose except the dots. Anterior 

 margin in form of reddish brown stripe in the middle, lighter laterally; 

 spot at posterior angle reddish brown, oblique, adjacent to brown area; 

 oblique streaks form an indistinct band. Setae (Figure 177) reddish 

 brown, primary anterior-margin seta, anterior-angle seta situated near 

 lateral margin, medioanal seta situated near posterior margin, moderately 

 long and thicker than the others.
