Hymenoptera Bocchinae Cicadomorpha Fulgoromorpha postembryonic development morphology

Abstract

The last immature stage and the mature larva of Mystrophorus formicaeformis Ruthe are described for the first time. The affinities of both immature and mature larvae of M. formicaeformis and corresponding instars of other subfamilies are respectively discussed.
