Open full text 15 citations

Abstract

The larval morphology of Tropinota squalida (Scopoli) and Aethiessa floralis (Fabricius) is described. The latter is the first description of a larva in this genus. The third-instar larva of Oxythyrea funesta (Poda) is redescribed. These species are included in a revised key to the larvae of Palaearctic Cetoniinae. The life cycle and larval biology of these flower chafers are described.
