Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Larvae and Pupae of the Social Beetles Coccidotrophus Socialis (Schwarz and Barber) And Eunausibius Wheeleri (Schwarz and Barber): With Remarks on the Taxonomy of the Family Cucujidae
Professor W. M. Wheeler has kindly given me for study larvae and pupae of the two species of social beetles discovered by him in British Guiana. The material was plentiful and in excel lent condition. In working out the relationship of these larvae it was necessary to examine larvae of several related groups and often to avail myself of studies as yet unpublished, under taken by Dr. F. C. Craighead and myself on the classification of the Coleopterous families based on larval characters.
In addition to descriptions and illustrations of the two species, mentioned above, the present contribution therefore con tains a brief discussion of the taxonomy of the entire family Cucujidae.
