Species:
Indosialis bannaensis Liu, Yang & Hayashi, 2006ClassificationPhylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Megaloptera Family: Sialidae Genus: Indosialis
Morphology:Adult: Female: The adult female has striking yellow-orange body coloration with smoky-black wings. Terminalia are most readily distinguished by the heavily sclerotized, diamond-shaped 8th gonapophysis with an emarginated posterior edge and the 8th gonocoxite divided into a pair of partially sclerotized subtriangular lobes. The body is strongly setose (Bowles and Contrearas-ramos, 2016).
Larva: Larva: One large and one small subapical mandibular teeth, yellow-orange body coloration with weak maculation, and the configuration of the fused mentum and submentum that bears a small oval sclerite on the posterior margin appear to be strong diagnostic characteristics for this genus (Bowles and Contrearas-ramos, 2016).
