Abstract:
Life history of each of the stages of Caryedes brasiliensis Thunberg is discussed. First
and final larval instars are described and photographed (SEM) and/or illustrated. Characters
described are those of the body, head, antenna, clypeus, labrum, epipharynx,
mandible, maxilla, labium, leg, spiracle, and anal sulcus. Larval sensillar structures are
identified and functional descriptions are included in a discussion of larval behavior.
