Veturius (Vetur ius) aspina Kuwert, 1898

( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 9a)

Third instar. Body: length 60.0–63.0 mm, width (prothorax) 12.0 mm; covered with uniform pile of fine, short setae ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 a); prosternal setae absent. Primary setal pattern: 4–5 HPA, 1 PD, 4 PSL, 1 MSD, 2–3 MSL, 1 MTD, 2–3 MTL, 1 TM, 1 TSM, 1 TL, 1 AV9 ( Table 2 View TABLE 2 ). Head: covered with uniform pile of short, golden setae; epicranial suture short; frontal sutures extended to the base of the antennae; width of head capsule 7.0–8.0 mm ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 a). Mandibles without micro-asperities on the ventral base. Maxillary stipes with 13 micro-conical projections ( Fig. View FIGURE 2

2a). Legs: pars stridens (mesocoxae) length 1097.80 µm, width 737.89 µm, distance into striate 20.12 µm, 41 striae; mesocoxae and metacoxae with 2 internal setae. Metathoracic legs covered with short setae and microasperities in medial and posterior areas; anterior margin with 5 well developed teeth, I is the largest tooth, II–V gradually decreasing in size ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 a).
