Pupa: not known
Larva A medium salinarius-type larva, length about 11 - 13 mm.
The frontoclypeus is dark and the gular region is posteriorly darkened. The c2teeth of the mentum trifid tooth are almost completely separated from the c1 tooth (type III); 4th laterals reduced to about the same height as the 5th lateral teeth (type II).
Anterior margin of the ventromental plate is smooth, with about 51-52 striae reaching to about centre of the plate and with faint striae reaching at least half the remaining distance to anterior margin.
Pecten epipharyngis with 12-14 pointed and rather uniform teeth. Premandible with inner tooth about 1.9-2.7 times wider than the outer tooth, and slightly longer.
Antenna with A1 about 3.41 (3.25-3.50) times longer than wide; AR about 2.23 (2.06-2.38); ratio of segments (µm) 141 : 34 : 12 : 15 : 7.
The 3rd inner tooth of the mandible partially colored and fused to the lower margin (type IIB), at least 11 furrows on outer surface near the base.
Cytology: Cytology of available specimens was not good. 4 polytene chromosomes, probably with the thummi arm combination AB, CD, EF, G.
Arm G often unpaired and with a virtually terminal nucleolus.
Found: Ontario - Silver Lake(46.43°N, 81.03°W), Sudbury area.
This larva does not correspond to any of the other currently known salinarius-type from North America or the Palearctic.
