Conochironomus ' thai' sp. indet

Description

Conochironomus pupa, ‘Thai’ sp. indet. (Fig. 4 B, D, F).

Pe; THAILAND: Nan Prov., Mae Charim N.P., Nam Wa R., 18°36'N 100°59’E 335 m. asl., 13.iii.2002, L-293 (Cranston).

This unassociated pupa clearly belongs to Conochironomus. It differs from the likely pupa of C.

tobaterdecimus (above) and ‘Nee Soon’ below, and may belong to C. nuengthai or C. sawngthai. Differences include the stronger cephalic tubercles and frontal setae (Fig. 4 B), the spinose antepronotum which shows even some small hooklets (Fig. 4 D), and perhaps the posterolateral corner (spur) of abdominal segment VIII (Fig. 4 F).
