The last instar larva and the pupa of Psammoecus scitus Yoshida & Hirowatari, all instar larvae of P. simoni Grouvelle, and the last instar larva of P. hiranoi Yoshida & Hirowatari are described, and their morphologies are compared among species and instars. Larval association for P. simoni was confirmed by DNA barcoding. Apart from a brief description of the pupa of Cryptamorpha brevicornis (White) illustrated by Hudson (1924), the pupal morphology of Brontinae is described in detail for the first time. Potentially informative characters for phylogeny of larval and pupal morphology of Silvanidae are discussed.
描述了吉田与广渡发现的细纹薪甲的末龄幼虫和蛹、西蒙薪甲的所有龄期幼虫以及平野薪甲的末龄幼虫，并对它们在种间和龄期间的形态进行了比较。通过DNA条形码技术确认了西蒙薪甲的幼虫关联。除了对哈德森（1924年）所绘短角隐薪甲蛹的简要描述外，首次详细描述了扁薪甲亚科的蛹形态。讨论了扁薪甲科幼虫和蛹形态系统发育中可能具有信息价值的特征。
