Abstract:
Mongoloraphidia sororcula (H. Aspock & U. Aspock, 1966) was reared in
the lab from field collected specimens for two generations starting in
2012. The natural habitat in Mongolia, where adults and one larva were
found, is described. Based upon specimens of the offspring the
morphology of the larva is described for the first time together with
information on the development. This is the first description of the
larva of the subgenus Mongoloraphidia sensu stricto.
