Cryptotendipes View in CoL View at ENA sp. 3 ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 A–F)
Larva (only head capsule retained)
Material examined: 1 larva. China: Hebei Province, Chengde City, Kuancheng County, 21.IX.2001, leg. X. Wang.
Fourthinstar larva.
Coloration: Head capsule pale yellow with some teeth brown. Gula deep brown. Posterior occipital margin dark brown.
Antenna ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 A): Total length 55 µm long, 0.55 times as long as mandible. Antennal segment lengths (in µm): 30; 10; 2.5; 4; 2.5. AR = 1.2. Basal segment 12.5 µm wide. Antennal blade 20 µm long, reaching middle of fifth segment, accessory blade 115 µm long, reaching middle of fourth segment. Ring organ located at 0.5 of basal segment, 15 µm long from base. Lauterborn organ absent.
Labrum: Both SI and SII slender, slightly broadened proximally, SI slightly smaller than SII, 0.6–0.7 times of SII in length. SIVA consisting of 2 segments, basal segment 10 µm long, distal segment 5 µm long. Pecten epipharyngis ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 B) with 2 blunt teeth. Premandible with 2 pointed apical teeth, 60 µm long. Premandible brush present. Anterior margin of frontal apotome straight, with S3 located in each corner. SL1 and SL2 present. ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 C)
Mandible ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 D): Total length 100 µm long. Mandible teeth yellowish brown, other areas pale, 2 inner teeth, 1 apical tooth, third false tooth present on mola, apex of teeth somewhat flat. Seta subdentalis bladelike, relatively long, 30 µm long, extending length of inner tooth. Seta interna with 4 branches, most proximal branch apparently bifid, 30 µm long.
Mentum ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 E): Total length 100 µm, 50 µm high. Median teeth notched laterally, trifid, 25 µm wide. Outer 3 lateral teeth grouped into compound tooth, clearly set off from others. Ventromental plate 70 µm wide (w), 30 µm long (l), outer margin rugose. Separation between plates 47.5 µm. VmPR (w/l): 2.33; VmPSR(w/s): 1.47; mentum ratio (VmP/M): 0.70. Striae number 16. Setae submenti simple, distance between setae 65 µm. Postmentum 115 µm long.
Maxillary palp ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 F): Basal part 20 µm long, 15 µm wide, with ring organ 0.38 from base. Distal part with 4 bladelike and 1 twosegmented sensilla.
Remarks: The larva resembles that of C. holsatus described by Lenz (1959), Moller Pillot (1984, Netherlands), and Nocentini (1985, Italy). The larva differs from others in the genus by the twotoothed pecten epipharyngis and loosely arranged mental teeth. In the Chinese specimen, SI is a little smaller than SII, SI/SII = 0.6–0.7 in length, similar to the Netherlands specimen described by MollerPillot (1984), but not as small as in the original description by Lenz (1959). The pupa, male, and female have not been found in China, so we treat this larva as C. sp. 3.
