Based on our data, comparatively rapid tail growth begins at the earliest stages of development and extends to the adult stage. On the other hand, comparative length of head decreases (Fig. 14). The changes of general proportions have different intensity in different developmental stages. Allometrical dependence of head and body length on the total length of the I and II size group larvae is described by equations: Lcd= Lv=°-26 The coefficients of allometric equations for the III size group larvae is different: Lcd=' Lc=°-52.
