Description

LESTRIMELITTA LIMAO (SMITH) Figures 7, 32B

The postdefecating larva of this species (fig. 7) is almost identical to that of Lestrimelitta glabrata (fig. 7) described above, although the apical breadth of the mandible may be slightly wider and tapers to blunt (non-spoon-shaped) apex (fig. 32B).
