stigmatophore [FBbt_00000425]

External protrusion of the integument at the posterior terminal of the larva that houses the posterior spiracles. When the larva is buried in the semi-liquid medium where it feeds, the stigmatophore periscopes out of the medium, allowing the larva to continue breathing.
