First instar larvae of endemic Australian Miltogramminae (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

Abstract The first instar larva of a species of the Australian endemic genus Aenigmetopia Malloch is described for the first time, along with the first instar larvae of three other Australian species representing the genera Amobia Robineau-Desvoidy and Protomiltogramma Townsend. Larval morphology wa...
