Larval morphology.
Head and body sclerites without pigmentation, long non-articulated spines on mala, prementum with lateral setae 1/2 length of medial setae (
LESCHEN
& ALLEN 1988
). The earlier claimed absence of sublateral setae was rejected by observations in
HANLEY & GOODRICH (1994)
. Characters to distinguish this species from
O. stygicus
are as follows:
El1
located medial to uppermost ocelli; head seta
L4
absent; 4

and 4
P
setae on pronotum; 7

setae on mesonotum; 4

setae on metanotum; no anterior setae on abdominal tergum I.
Development.
Egg: 6 hours; instar I: 16.5 hours; instar II: 1.17 days; instar III: 5.86 days; prepupae: 3.6 days; pupae: 5.75 days. Total development duration: 17 days.
Behavior.
Adults have been collected from April to October with the highest abundance during September and October. Preoral digestion of larvae was observed (
LESCHEN & ALLEN 1988
).
