(Figs. 3–4)

Description. Body length 48.25± 5.65 mm (n = 6). Exarate, curved inward in natural condition (Fig. 3A).

Head subquadrate with some long setae, postocular spines slightly prominent; clypeus with anterior margin truncate with a triangular labrum. Antennae filiform, long, curving to ventral part of head. Compound eyes ovoid. Mandibles slightly shorter than head, with similar teeth to that in final-instar larva. Pronotum slightly longer than width. Meso- and metathorax robust. Wing pads with feebly developed veins. Genitalia with weakly developed gonocoxites 9 and ectoprocts; gonocoxites 9 paired, small and subtriangular; ectoprocts much larger than gonocoxites 9, with posterodorsal portion distinctly produced.

Coloration and markings. Body coloration and some markings varying very seriously depending on the developmental stages. At early stage (Fig. 3B, C), body golden yellow generally; compound eyes grayish black; head yellow and immaculate; antennae yellow and slightly brown; pronotum almost immaculate with some glabrous areas that are generally similar in shape to pronotal marking pattern in final-instar larva; wing pads yellow to brown; legs pale yellow; abdomen largely brown dorsally but yellow ventrally. At pre-emergence stage (Fig. 4), body coloration in general yellowish brown, pronotum laterally with a pair of blackish vittae; wing pads blackish; legs with apex of femora, base and apex of tibia, and tarsomeres 2–4 blackish.
