Calophya hermicitae
, last instar larva; left dorsal, right ventral face.
Structure
. Anterior portion of vertex covered in very short, inconspicuous setae; genal processes long, slender, contiguous in the middle. Forewings (®gure 6F) oblong±oval, subangular apically; surface spinules present in all cells, leaving broad, spinule-free stripes along the veins, sometimes reduced to just a few. Genitalia as in ®gure 6G±K. Male subgenital plate short; proctiger thick; paramere lanceolate with two apical teeth on the inner face which are close together; distal portion of aedeagus short with large apical dilatation. Female proctiger short, clavate in pro®le; subgenital plate truncate apically.
