. Before pupation, the mature larva of the male made a large cell between the rotting wood debris and the inner walls of the hollow trunk, which was much longer and wider than the dimensions of the future adult. In captivity, complete development from egg to immature adult required 443724 days: 4148 days from egg to early first-instar larva, 2870 days from first-instar larva to second-instar larva, 28 124 days from second-instar larva to third-instar larva, and 346482 days from thirdinstar larva to adult. Probably, in nature the life cycle requires two years.

Besides the width of the head capsule, body size, and the number of setae on the tarsal claws, the differences between larvae of each species are mainly those of chaetotaxy.
