I found the next for Psychodinae: "anterior spiracles absent, preanal, lateroanal and adanal plates absent. Body length less than 1.5 mm. Hypostom without dents or with 1 row of dents only - the 1st age (see Salman, Vaillant, 1982). Revision des larves neonates des Dipteres Psychodidae de la sous-famille des Psychodinae. Trav.Lab. Hydrobiol. piscic. Univ. Grenoble. 71-73:231-254. But I have never seen this work. |
