PARTAMONA MUSARUM (COCKERELL)

See Rozen et al. (2019b) for the description of postdefecating larva of Partamona musarum (Cockerell) (diagrams therein mislabeled as P. testacea ). From the original diagram of the larva in lateral view, its length is here reported: 8.8 mm long. Reexamination of the specimen revealed a dense mass of multipronged spicules on the labral apex.
