Abstract

The Atlantic Rainforest is one of the most threatened biomes of the world, with only 11-12 % of its original cover. The Cicindelinae are present in this biome with a relatively high diversity, but data of their immature forms are few. On the basis of six larvae and four pupae of Pentacomia (Mesochila) smaragdula we describe and illustrate the third larval instar of the larva and the pupa of this species. Notes on the species distribution are also given.

摘要

大西洋雨林是世界上受威胁最严重的生物群落之一，仅存其原始覆盖面积的11%-12%。虎甲亚科在这个生物群落中具有较高的多样性，但关于其未成熟形态的数据却很少。基于六只绿点五斑虎甲（Mesochila）幼虫和四只蛹，我们描述并展示了该物种幼虫的第三龄幼虫和蛹。此外，还给出了该物种分布的相关记录。
