The relationship between the immature stages of an insect as a whole and its body parts is called allometry. The average of measurement of the body of naiads head and gnathal appendages of 4th to 11th in star of pantala flavescens are taken in to consideration. The analysis of allometric data pertaining of two variables, naiad length with length of head, labrum, mandible, maxilla and labium showed positive perfect correlation as the value of r come very close to positive one. It has predicted that all gnathal appendages grow in length as the naiad acquires the length; the chi square data supported this agreement more perfectly in case of mandible and labium
