Larvae of only 2 of the 13 species of Hydromanicus known from Thailand have been described previously. In this research, the "metamorphotype method" was used to associate yet-unidentifiable larvae and pupae with their identifiable adults: Pupal identifications were based on genitalic features in common with described adults, and larvae were associated with the pupae. Herein, the final larval instar of Hydromanicus malayanus, H. abiud and H. inferior are described and illustrated.
在已知分布于泰国的13种水芒蝇属物种中,此前仅描述过其中2种的幼虫。在本研究中,采用“变态型方法”将尚未鉴定的幼虫和蛹与其可鉴定的成虫关联起来:蛹的鉴定基于与已描述成虫共有的生殖器特征,幼虫则与蛹相关联。在此,描述并图示了马来水芒蝇、阿比德水芒蝇和下级水芒蝇的末龄幼虫。
