Abstract
AbstractA detailed description and illustrations of the larva of Remartinia secreta (Calvert) are provided. The main features that distinguish the larva of this species are dark brown coloration; prementum 0.25 times longer than its widest part, with a dorsal row of small spiniform setae close to the lateral margins; length of the lateral spine on abdominal segment six 0.4–0.5 mm; lateral valvae of female gonapophyses shorter than central ones; and female epiproct longer than cerci. Larvae were found living in a lagoon densely covered by aquatic phanerogams such as Eichhornia sp. (Pontedereaceae) and Typha sp. (Thyphaceae). Larva of R. secreta is compared to that of Remartinia luteipennis florida (Hagen), its only sympatric congener.
