Detailed morphological description of the mature larva of Anthrenus latefasciatus Reitter, 1892 (Dermestidae: Megatominae: Anthrenini) with comparisons to related species

摘要

A description of the last larval instar (based on exuvium) of Anthrenus latefasciatus Reitter, 1892 (Coleóptera: Dermestidae) is presented. New morphological characters of A. latefasciatus larvae such as general morphology of antenna, epipharynx, mandibula, maxilla, lígula with labial palpi, hastisetae, legs, terga and condition of antecostal suture are documented and discussed. General morphological differences among mature larvae of the following Anthrenus species are compared and summarized: A.coloratus 'Reitter, 1881, A.flavipes flavipes LeConte, 1854, A.fuscus Olivier, 1789, A. latefasciatus Reitter, 1892, A museorum (Linnaeus, 1761) A. oceanicus Fauvel, 1903, A. olgae Kalik, 1946, A. pimpinellae pimpinellae (Fabricius, 1775), A. sarnicus Mroczkowski, 1963, A. scrophulariae scrophulariae (Linnaeus, 1758), and A. verbasci (Linnaeus, 1767).
