Interesting...and great find!
I recently added links to a number of references to the
info page
.
Gurney(1947)
treats the larvae and gives nice figures for the habitus and head (Figs. 6 & 11 on pp. 163 & 165)...which match fairly well with your beautiful photo.
MacLeod & Spiegler(1961)
gives further details on the larvae and life history.
And, for those who may be interested, there's
Adams(1970)
...a detailed review of nearctic Dilaradae (which, it turns out, consists of members of the genus
Nallachius
only).
