The mid legs are white scaled above on the apical three-quarters of segment two and on segment three, four and five, except the extreme tip of five. The larva of this species does not appear to have been described hitherto. Larva. Stage IV (fig. 2). Head broad. Mental plate with a. 001 millimeter Fig. 2. Sahethoides mtidus, Tlieo., from Manaos region. A-E—larva; F—pupa. A—mental plate ; B—dentition of mandible ; C—spines of lateral comb (branched one in lateral view); D—siphon tube ; E—part of surface of siphon tube enlarged ; F—respiratory trumpet of pupa. large median tooth and eight smaller ones on each side. Maxillae resembling those of Sabethimis undosiis as described and figured by Howard, Dyar and Knab (1915), but, left maxilla with five teeth on.
