Abstract

The egg, larval instars and pupae of Centrodora scolypopae (Valentine) are described. All 3 instars show a reduction of morphological differentation when compared to other Aphelinidae. The 1st instar retains the egg chorion and lacks visible mouthparts, segmentation and tracheal system. The 3rd instar has 4 pairs of spiracles only.
