Classification Diagnostic Features of Larvae
  • Larva. Form elongate, slender; integument thick, dull, finely granulate, sparsely covered with long, fine, whitish hairs; color white. Head and mandibles similar to those of Aneflomorpha subpubescens; first and second joints of antennae equal; a long seta above antennae and one behind ocellus; basal joint of maxillary palpi transverse, beadlike, second and third subequal, third shorter than last labial; anterior edge of hypostoma protuberant, regularly carinate; thorax and abdomen as Aneflomorpha subpubescens, except that the ampullae are less protuberant, and the ventral ampullae are not so distinctly divided by longitudinal, shallow impressions. Pleural discs distinct on first and second abdominal segments. Spiracles about size of ocellus, orbicular. Adapted from Craighead (1923).
