And now the larva itself. Size 4.5 mm. Unlike most known
Platypezidae larvae, it lacks marginal and dorsal processes on body segments (together with Nearctic
Melanderomyia kahli which feeds on stink-horns,
Phallaceae; in others, these processes can be very reduced as in
Seri obscuripennis). Note the elongated tubes which carry the anal spiracles.
