). This description was prepared from 5 final instar larvae collected by Fu. 12.0 mm long. Active larvae with their dorsal plates inclining toward mid line, thus slightly tent like. Dorsal surface fairly smooth covered with fine hairs sitting in small pale areas of the cuticle (these pale areas only clearly visible microscopically and covering the anterior 1/3 or less, and the sides of the median line of each of segments 2–12 and narrowly anteriorly on segment 13). Dorsal surface with minute bluntly ending projections lining the sides of median line and anterior areas of each tergum and also the laterally reflexed margins. Most of the venter of the thorax pale with dark bases to coxae and dark median plate beneath head capsule. Abdomen: most ventral plates dark brown; median sternal plates pale semitransparent and slightly pink because of underlying fat body; sternal plate of segment 8 semitransparent and pale. Protergum longer than wide, anterior margin bluntly rounded and containing retracted head beneath; depressions of dorsal surface indicated (
