Redescription of the immature stages of
Oncideres germari Thomson, 1868
(Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Onciderini)
by
MARCELA COSARINSKY
Abstract - The last instar larva and pupa of Oncideres germari are redescribed and compared with those of Oncideres guttulata, O. saga, O. dejeanii, O. digna and O. ulcerosa. Oncideres and Lochmaeocles are considered closely related genera, therefore the larvae and pupae of the above mentioned species are compared with those of Lochmaeocles fasciatus. Observations on the behaviours of the pharate adult and larva of Oncideres germari are also included.
