03BD87C1FFB931016091FE55FAE6FC04.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis (instar III). The instar III larvae of Hovahydrus praetextus can easily be distinguished from those of Hovahydrus sp. by the following combination of characters: larger size, HL = 1.13 mm; head capsule pear-shaped, frontoclypeus narrower, rounded apically (Fig. 13); parietale with a large number of temporal spines in dorsal view (Fig. 13); metathoracic leg shorter, <2.90 times HW; femora, tibiae and tarsi with a larger number of secondary setae (Figs 15 – 16; Table 2); abdominal segment VIII lightly constricted at point of insertion of urogomphi (Fig. 14).	en	Alarie, Yves, Michat, Mariano C., Ranarilalatiana, Tolotra, Bergsten, Johannes (2022): Larval morphology of the Madagascan endemic diving beetle genus Hovahydrus Biström, 1982 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) and phylogenetic comparison with other known Hyphydrini.
