The larva of Argia cuprea (Hagen, 1861) is described and figured. It falls into the group of Argia larvae with prominent ligula and one palpal seta, but it differs from its closest relatives by a combination of features such as male gonapophyses reaching posterior ventral margin of S10; dorsal and ventral margin of paraproct with long, abundant, white, delicate setae on distal 0.40; tip of paraproct 20% its total length; lateral surface of paraproct with abundant spiniform setae restricted to the triangular, yellowish-brown, slightly sclerotized area along the inflated area. It appears closely related to A. oenea Hagen in Selys, 1865 and A. orichalcea Hagen in Selys, 1865 larvae.
描述并图示了铜腹姬蛙（Hagen，1861）的幼虫。它属于具有明显舌叶和一根触须的姬蛙幼虫组，但与最接近的亲缘种不同，其特征组合为：雄肛附器延伸到 S10 的后腹缘；肛尾叶的背缘和腹缘具有长而丰富的白色、纤细的刚毛，位于远端的 0.40 处；肛尾叶的末端占总长度的 20%；肛尾叶的侧面有丰富的刺状刚毛，仅限于沿膨胀区域的三角形、黄棕色、稍硬化的区域。它似乎与 Hagen 在 Selys，1865 年描述的 A. oenea 和 A. orichalcea 幼虫密切相关。
