Abstract

The present study describes and illustrates the third instar larva of Eunanus valmorbidai Ferreira, Grossi & Seidel, 2024 (Coleoptera: Melolonthidae: Rutelinae) based on specimens collected on South Brazil. A key to third instar larvae of Geniatini is provided, and the taxonomy of Geniatini immatures is discussed.
