Abstract

The egg, two larval instars (L1, 2) and pupa of Cafius nauticus (Fairmaire) are described for the first time. Detailed external structures of the mature larvae are re-described. The structural features of each instar are illustrated as well as the adults. Biological information including intra- and interspecific interactions and ecological preferences are recorded for the first time.
