Description of the mature larva of Suphisellus curtus (Sharp, 1882) (Coleoptera: Noteridae) with chaetotaxy analysis

Abstract The third-instar larva of Suphisellus curtus (Sharp, 1882) is described and illustrated for the first time, including morphometric and chaetotaxic analyses of the cephalic capsule, head appendages, legs, last abdominal segment, and urogomphus.

Abstract

Abstract The third-instar larva of Suphisellus curtus (Sharp, 1882) is described and illustrated for the first time, including morphometric and chaetotaxic analyses of the cephalic capsule, head appendages, legs, last abdominal segment, and urogomphus. This is the second detailed larval description for the genus Suphisellus Crotch, 1873. Larvae of this genus can be readily separated from other known noterid larvae by the strongly developed galea, subequal in length to maxillary palpus. Suphisellus curtus differs from S. rufipes (Sharp, 1882) in the dorsal colour pattern, S. rufipes being entirely testaceous and S. curtus testaceous with transverse brown bands between body segments.
