LESTRIMELITTA GLABRATA CAMARGO AND MOURE View in CoL

Figures 6, 32A

The mature larva of this species of the robber bee genus Lestrimelitta is small-headed relative to its moderately large body (fig. 6). The paired dorsolateral body tubercles are small but expressed on most body segments, including abdominal segment 8. The narrow apical mandible with the somewhat spoon-shaped extreme apex (fig. 32A) may be helpful for identification.

DESCRIPTION: Head: Size very small relative to body size (fig. 6); vertex not bilobed in frontal view.
