The final instar larva of the genus Dysphaea Selys, 1853 is described and figured for the first time based on specimens of D. gloriosa Fraser, 1938 from Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. The larvae of D. gloriosa are very rarely encountered. The larvae are characterized by the relatively larger head, the swollen heavily spined genae extending well beyond the eyes, the swollen postocular lobes bearing a disordered row of dense strong marginal spines, the outer armature of the mandibles and the unusual labrum. Notes on the habitat and biology of the larvae are also provided.
基于1938年采自泰国考艾国家公园的华丽迪氏蟌（Dysphaea gloriosa Fraser）标本，首次对1853年赛利斯（Selys）建立的迪氏蟌属（Dysphaea）末龄幼虫进行了描述并绘制了形态图。华丽迪氏蟌的幼虫极为罕见。其幼虫的特征为头部相对较大，颊部肿胀且密布粗刺，延伸至眼后甚远，眼后叶肿胀，具一排排列无序的密集强边缘刺，上颚外骨骼及独特的上唇。文中还提供了幼虫的栖息地及生物学相关记录。
