LAOS: Bolaven Plateau, Champasak Province, Paksong town, mountain tropical forest and pine plantations, 15 ° 10 ' 54 " N, 106 ° 14 ' 25 " E, 25 – 28.07.2023, E. Spitsyna & V. Spitsyn leg. – 1 ♂, 1 ♀. Morphology of preimaginal stages: Eggs brown, matte, prolate spheroid in shape (length ca. 2.8 mm); attached to substrate; incubation period takes 9 days. L 1: length at hatching 5 mm; length before first molting 10 mm; head capsule light brown with translucent white setae; eyes black; prothoracic shield black-brown and having two double fused scoli with translucent white setae; thoracic legs dark brown, abdominal prolegs black; ground colour black; each of thoracic segments T 2 – T 3 and abdominal segments A 1 – A 7 bears 6 black scoli with translucent white setae. L 2: length after molting 10 mm, length before second molting 16 mm; head capsule light brown with grey setae of various lengths; eyes dark brown; prothoracic shield creamy-white with two large black spots, each of them bears two small anterior orange scoli; ground colour green; body has two rows of orange scoli dorsally, one row of orange scoli and one row of deep blue scoli laterally; all scoli with dark brown setae; legs brown; spiracles black-brown. L 3: length after molting 16 mm, length before third molting 35 mm; similar to L 2 but differs by presence of significantly smaller two black spots on prothoracic shield; large lateral silver scoli having pale reddish apex and situated over spiracles on abdominal segments A 2 – A 4; dorsal scoli bear small silver spot at base. L 4: length after molting 35 mm, length before fourth molting 35 mm; similar to L 3 but differs by presence of five large lateral silver scoli having pale coral apex and situated over spiracles on abdominal segments A 1 – A 5 (three silver scoli in L 3); dorsal scoli light green. L 5: length after molting 35 mm, length before fifth molting 45 mm; similar to L 4; head capsule light pinkish with small black spots and edged with wide reddish-brownish band; dorsal side of body covered with light yellowish setae; large dorsal silver scoli on abdominal segments A 1 – A 3; dorsal scoli pale blue on abdominal segments A 4 – A 7. L 6: length after molting 45 mm, length before sixth molting 55 mm; similar to L 5 but differs by presence of large dorsal silver scoli on abdominal segments A 1 – A 2 (A 1 – A 3 in L 5), dorsal lilac scoli on A 3 – A 7, and four large lateral silver scoli on A 1 – A 4 (five silver scoli in L 5). L 7: length after molting 55 mm, length before pupation 85 mm; similar to L 6 but differs by presence of three large lateral silver scoli on abdominal segments A 1 – A 3 (four silver scoli in L 6). Larval feeding in breeding experiment: The larvae fed on Quercus spp. (Fagaceae).	en	Spitsyn, Vitaly M., Spitsyna, Elizaveta A.
