| Description | The puparium/mature larva of Lindneromyia hungarica Chandler, 2001 is described in detail for the first time and documented by original drawings and SEM micrographs. The puparium is formed from the cuticle of the mature larva and thus bears all larval cuticular structures. Cuticular structures and diagnostic characters of L. hungarica are clearly different from L. dorsalis Meigen, 1804, till this time the only European species of the genus Lindneromyia for which the puparium had been described. A new identification key to the puparia/mature larvae of both species is provided. |
