Euderces picipes

Classification Diagnostic Features of Larvae
  • Larva. Form semi-robust, short, contracted; integument tough, shining, sparsely covered with fine whitish hairs. Head suboval, widest behind, with a slight anterior taper; mouth-frame lightly corneous: clypeus rather wide; labrum thin, transversely oblong; mandibles broad at apex, basal piece narrow, reddish brown, about one-fourth width of apical, which is piceous, shining, with a shallow fovea on outer face; antennae slender, second and third joints subequal, third about equal to fourth, supplementary long, one-half length of fourth; ocellus large, white, not very protuberant nor contiguous with antennae; gena abruptly rounded, scarcely shouldered, bearing a row of four long setae behind ocellus. Ventral mouth-parts rather long, curving over lower face of mandible, bearing numerous long hairs; last joint of maxillary palpi much longer than second, slightly shorter than last labial; process of palpifer as long as last maxillary joint; gula narrow, sutures protuberant, concave. Prothorax subrectangular, rather thick; pronotum little wider than long, anteriorly regularly though sparsely hairy, posterior area with a few irregular faintly impressed striae ending in an irregular band of lenticular punctures, then finely granulate; median suture impressed; sternellar band at extremities broadly fused into epipleurum. Legs not longer than maxillary palpi, of two globular joints and a minute fleshy spine. Abdomen rather contracted; ampullae prominent, last three dorsal ones, oval, dull, granulate, granules rather flat, with faint lateral impressions and median furrow; hypopleural region strongly protuberant; skin between fourth and fifth ventral ampullae strongly rugose. Pleural discs granulate on first, second, and third segments. Spiracles smaller than ocellus, sub-orbicular, peritreme thin. Adapted from Craighead (1923).
