“…Some larvae were identified to species level according to descriptions given for manuscripts of immature association (Holzenthal 1997;Huamantinco and Nessimian 2004a;Huamantinco et al 2005;Dumas and Nessimian 2006;Calor and Froehlich 2008;Nessimian and Dumas 2010). Adult identification was based on the morphology of male genitalia.…”
