| The eruciform larvae bear 2 pairs of prolegs on the fifth and sixth abdominal segments apart from 3 pairs of thoracic legs. |
| But the greatest number of prolegs is to be found in the Brazil subcortical larva lately mentioned. |
| The larva made repeated forays out of the burrow to scrape the surface of hydrilla leaves, always remaining anchored by its hind prolegs to the inside of the burrow. |
| The legs and prolegs are translucent yellow and tarsal segments are dark brown to black. |
| It has three pairs of true legs on the thorax and five pairs of fleshy prolegs on the abdomen. |
