Morphological study of egg mass and first instar larvae of Neoneuromus ignobilis and Acanthacorydalis unimaculata (Megaloptera: Corydalidae)

This paper described and compared the morphological characteristics of egg masses and first-instar larvae of the genus Neoneuromus and Acanthacorydalis from the family Megaloptera, taking Neoneuromus ignobilis Navás, 1932 and Acanthacorydalis unimaculata Yang et Yang, 1986 as examples. The results showed that the morphology of egg masses and first-instar larvae of N. ignobilis and A. unimaculata were quite different: The egg mass of N. ignobilis was about three -fourths of that of the egg mass of A. unimaculata , and the egg of N. ignobilis was about two thirds of the egg of A.unimaculata.Their eggs were cylindrical with almost no difference. The thickness of the outer white covering of N. ignobilis was 2~3 times that of A. unimaculata. Egg masses were attached to reed leaves individually, and there were 4 types of shapes, namely oval, spiral, egg-shape, and round, and their types in all samples accounted for 47.1%, 9.8%, 17.6% and 25.5% respectively. The egg masses of A. unimaculata were mostly attached to the bottom of the bridge, the egg shells were thin and the outermost eggs were lifted outwards, so that their surfaces such as protrusions were evenly distributed on the eggshell surface. The first-instar larvae of N. ignobilis had white linear bare area on the abdomen, and there were brown and yellow markings near the ends of the 8 pairs of tracheal gills. However, the back of the first-instar larva of A.unimaculata was dark brown, the linear bare area and color distribution were unstable, and their tracheal gills had no marking as N. ignobilis. Two types of first-instar larvae had no bristles on both sides of the abdomen. These data would not only enrich the related information of Megaloptera, but also provided references for their industrialization.
