Description:
|
T1 epimera deflected ventro-posteriorly. T2 metepimera are displaced from the plane of surrounding sclerites ["flaps"]. Antenna, legs, gemale genital stylii, and mouthparts are more slender than those of wild-type. Genital papillae of female pupae have a small, round sclerotization at the ventral midline anterior margin. Expression ranges from a barely visible dot to an enlarged structure taking up the full middle third of the papillar base. These larger ones usually have a darker sclerotized center. [Larvae have not been seen with these dots].
