Female pupa of Neoneuromus ignobilis Navás View in CoL

( Figs. 3–4 View FIGURE 3 View FIGURE 4 )

Description. Body length 48.25± 5.65 mm (n = 6). Exarate, curved inward in natural condition ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ).

Head subquadrate with some long setae, postocular spines slightly prominent; clypeus with anterior margin truncate with a triangular labrum. Antennae filiform, long, curving to ventral part of head. Compound eyes ovoid. Mandibles slightly shorter than head, with similar teeth to that in final-instar larva. Pronotum slightly longer than width. Meso- and metathorax robust. Wing pads with feebly developed veins. Genitalia with weakly developed gonocoxites 9 and ectoprocts; gonocoxites 9 paired, small and subtriangular; ectoprocts much larger than gonocoxites 9, with posterodorsal portion distinctly produced.

Coloration and markings. Body coloration and some markings varying very seriously depending on the developmental stages. At early stage ( Fig. 3B, C View FIGURE 3 ), body golden yellow generally; compound eyes grayish black; head yellow and immaculate; antennae yellow and slightly brown; pronotum almost immaculate with some glabrous areas that are generally similar in shape to pronotal marking pattern in final-instar larva; wing pads yellow to brown; legs pale yellow; abdomen largely brown dorsally but yellow ventrally. At pre-emergence stage ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 ), body coloration in general yellowish brown, pronotum laterally with a pair of blackish vittae; wing pads blackish; legs with apex of femora, base and apex of tibia, and tarsomeres 2–4 blackish.
