Stereoscan studies with descriptions of new characters of the egg and larval instars of Salticella fasciata (Meigen) (Diptera: Sciomyzidae)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 April 1999
Abstract
New data on the morphology of Salticella fasciata immature stages are given from stereo scanning microscope observations. Distinctive features are presented for the egg chorion and the main sensorial structures of the cephalic, thoracic and abdominal segments of the larvae. In contrast to previous studies, the presence of float hairs on the posterior disc is clearly observed in the three larval instars. The ecological and phyletic significance of some characters are discussed.
