The hitherto unknown larva of Setodes acutus Navás 1936 from the Aures region, Algeria, is described. The diagnostic features of the species are explained and illustrated, and morphological comparisons are made with Setodes argentipunctellus McLachlan 1877, recently recorded from the region. In addition, a discriminatory matrix to the known Setodes larvae from the Maghreb region is provided. Lastly, information on the ecology of the two species and their distribution to Northwest and Northeast Algeria is included.
本文描述了1936年纳瓦斯发现于阿尔及利亚奥雷斯地区的尖锐塞托摇蚊(Setodes acutus Navás)此前未知的幼虫。文中解释并说明了该物种的诊断特征,并配有图示,还与近期在该地区记录到的1877年麦克拉克伦发现的银点塞托摇蚊(Setodes argentipunctellus McLachlan)进行了形态学比较。此外,还提供了一个针对马格里布地区已知塞托摇蚊幼虫的鉴别矩阵。最后,纳入了关于这两个物种的生态学信息以及它们在阿尔及利亚西北部和东北部的分布情况。
