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).
