A Possible Larva of Lepicerus inaequalis Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Myxophaga: Lepiceridae) from Panama

Coleoptera Myxophaga Lepiceridae

Abstract

A larva is described which is presumed to be that of Lepicerus inaequalis Motschulsky based on several probable first instars and one later instar collected a few miles from and in a similar habitat to adult specimens of this species. The association is additionally based on several features also occurring in other known myxophagan larvae. A key is provided comparing these larvae with those of the other three families of Myxophaga.
