The mature larvae of the Lithurginae are quite homogeneous and are very similar to those of the other megachilid subfamily, the Megachilinae. Appended is a taxonomic description of the Megachilidae and comparative taxonomic description of the Fideliidae; both descriptions are based on the mature larvae"--P. [1]
