Abstract
A larva of Ancyrona diversa Pic, 1921 (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae) associated with adults is described in detail. Its morphological features are compared with known larvae of the tribe Lophocaterini and the subfamilies Trogossitinae and Peltinae. Phylogenetic and systematic implications are discussed. A resurrection of the subfamily name Lophocaterinae is suggested for the trogossitid tribes Decamerini, Lophocaterini and Ancyronini.References
