Diagnosis.
Generally similar to larva of
S. stysi
sp. nov.
in most external characters, except for measurements, chaetotaxic characters mentioned below, and morphological characters summarized in
Table 3
.
Measurements. Head width:
0.37 mm
(penultimate instar),
0.43 mm
(ultimate instar); body length:
1.12-1.25 mm
(penultimate instar),
1.42-1.55 mm
(ultimate instar); maximum body width:
0.72-0.76 mm
(penultimate instar),
0.95-1.02 mm
(ultimate instar).
Chaetotaxy. Identical in both species on most body parts with the following exceptions. Maxilla: apex of mala with one fixed lateral tooth and three stout spiniform setae and four thinner and longer trichoid setae mesally (
Fig. 18
). Legs: coxa with one additional short hairlike seta basally. Abdomen: lateral lobes of abdominal nodes generally with lower number of setae (see
Table 2
); at least some setae on these lobes bifid at apex in ultimate instar (
Fig. 29
), all setae simple in penultimate instar. Urogomphi (
Fig. 31
): bearing 8-10 long trichoid setae, one fine and short basal seta, and one spiniform seta at apex. For detailed description see
BEUTEL (1998)
