Ditomyia larvae have cylindrical body, transverse, not elongated, abdominal segments, penultimate abdominal segment bears 2 rather long pointed tubercles, carrying spiracles. The larva was described by Madwar, 1937. Biology and morphology of the immature stages of Mycetophilidae. Philos. Trans. Roy. Soc. London. B. 227.1-110. |
