Larva. Body length 3.6–4.2 mm, maximum width at level of procoxae 2.4–2.7 mm, head width at level of eyes 0.8–0.9 mm, prothorax width at widest place 1.1–1.2 mm. Head capsule bearing 1 vs, 2 very short weakly developed sos 1-2, 2 os 1-2 and 2 pas 1-2. Seta of head of unequal length and shape, brown, hair-form or thorn-like, based on protuberances. Pronotum slightly rounded, approximately 1.6 times as wide as long, with 2 as 1-2, 2 ds 1-2, ls, 2 sls 1-2 and 2 pls 1-2; all setae of prothorax placed on small protuberances, moderately elongate, equal in length. Abdominal segments I–VII each with 7 pairs of setae, different in size, thorn-like, forming a regular transverse row along posterior margin; setae 2, 4 and 7 very short, weakly visible. Segment VIII with one pair of thorn-like well visible setae laterally and a pair of short weakly visible setae centrally. Segment IX with 2 short setae placed dorsally, close to urogomphi. Urogomphi relatively elongate, curved and well sclerotized.
