Ferrar gives several figures of Fucellia larvae. Cephalopharyngeal skeleton resembles much Fucellia fucorum and certainly not of Fucellai tergina, the name of the latter under figures is given with ?. No posterior spiracles in this book. Fucellia fucorum larvae has similar anterior spiracles but instar 2 with 11 lobes and instar 3 with 10 lobes, not 9 as I see here. Nothing more I could discover in that book. And no larval material to compair. :|
