@article{van Nunen_Itämies_Ahola_2000, title={The larval description of <i>Tinea steueri</i> Petersen, 1966 and <i>Tinea svenssoni</i> Opheim, 1965 (Lepidoptera, Tineidae)}, volume={11}, url={https://journal.fi/entomolfennica/article/view/84050}, DOI={10.33338/ef.84050}, abstractNote={&lt;p&gt;Fourteen larvae of &lt;em&gt;Tinea steueri&lt;/em&gt; and six larvae of &lt;em&gt;T. svenssoni&lt;/em&gt; were first forced out of their cases and then boiled for five minutes in 10 % potassium hydroxide. The body was opened from the right side and the inside was cleaned out. Heads were cut off and placed in 10 % potassium hydroxide for three days. After opening, the skins were kept in 70 %, 94 % and absolute alcohol for five minutes each before spreading open on a microscope slide. Euparal was used as the mountant medium. Figures were drawn direct from a microscope with possible fold showing. Not all setae could be seen on every sample, but all details have been checked on more than one larva. In&lt;em&gt; Tinea svenssoni&lt;/em&gt; and&lt;em&gt; T. steueri&lt;/em&gt; the distance between SD1 and XD2 is shorter than between XD1 and XD2. The clearest difference between &lt;em&gt;T. svenssoni&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;T. steueri&lt;/em&gt; is the length of the cranial seta L1. In &lt;em&gt;T. svenssoni&lt;/em&gt; L1 is as long as P2. In&lt;em&gt; T. steueri&lt;/em&gt; L1 is the longest seta of the cranium being more than six times longer than P2. But many other differences were also found.&lt;/p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Entomologica Fennica}, author={van Nunen, Minna and Itämies, Juhani and Ahola, Matti}, year={2000}, month={Jun.}, pages={97–108} }
