Remarks.
Former descriptions of larval
S. thienemanni
were published by
Lundblad (1927)
,
Sparing (1959)
,
Ullrich (1976)
,
Martin (2003
, 2006) and
Gerecke & Martin (2006)
.
The larval character which enables a separation from the other
Sperchon
species of the present study is the relatively large dorsal plate of
S. thienemanni
(length>180µm).
