The mature larvae and pupae of Anthonomus (Anthonomidius) rubripes Gyllenhal, A. (s. str.) incurvus (Panzer), A. (s. str.) conspersus Desbrochers des Loges, and A. (s. str.) latior Pic, are described for the first time. The immature stages of A. (Anthomorphus) pinivorax Silfverberg, A. (s. str.) pedicularius (Linnaeus) (larva only), A. (s. str.) rubi (Herbst) are redescribed. The previous description of A. (s. str.) pomorum (Linnaeus) is checked and updated with new data. Keys for the identification of species of 9 larvae and 10 pupae of Palaearctic species are presented. Additional information on the biology of some species is provided. Crataegus pinnatifida is established as a host plant for the first time for A. (s. str.) latior.

Immatures of the Phelypera schuppeli (Boheman, 1834) (Curculionidae; Hyperinae; Cepurini) are described, illustrated and compared with available descriptions of larvae and pupae of Hyperini. Immatures and adults from midwest (Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul; Pirenópolis, Goiás) and southeast Brazil (Bauru, São Paulo) were found on leaves of the host plant, Pachira aquatica Aubl. ( Malvaceae, formerly Bombacaceae), a tree used as an ornamental plant in many Brazilian frost-free cities. Larvae of P. schuppeli are exophytic, brightly colored, eruciform and possess abdominal ambulatory ampullae, resembling larvae of Lepidoptera. Mature larvae can spin globular lattice-like cocoons where pupation takes place. Data in the field and under laboratory conditions confirmed previously published biological observations on P. schuppeli. Additional information about defensive behaviors, process of cocoon construction and natural enemies, such as the larval predator Supputius cinticeps (Stål, 1860) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and the prepupal and pupal parasitoid Jaliscoa nudipennis Bouček, 1993 (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), are reported.

Mature larva of Gonioctena (Spartoxena) pseudogobanzi Kippenberg, 2001 is described and illustrated for the first time, based on specimens collected on Genista umbellata (L’Hér.) Dum. Cours. [Fabaceae] in southeastern Spain. Diagnostic characters for the identification of species within the subgenus Sparoxena Motschulsky, 1860 are number of dorsal tubercles of abdominal segments, shape of tarsal claw, shape of labrum and disposition of microtrichia of epipharynx. A key to known larvae of subgenus Spartoxena is provided, along with figures illustrating the diagnostic characters. Notes on the distribution and host plant of G. pseudogobanzi are included.

The valid name of Pachynematus (Pikonema) carpathiensis Haris, 2001 isNematinuscarpathiensis(Haris, 2001)comb. n.Lectotypes are designated for 43 taxa. An illustrated electronic key made with Lucid and a traditional dichotomous key are provided to facilitate identification of the species. Species belonging to thecarinata(previouslyLygaeotus),micronematica(previouslyLygaeophora), andrufipes(also known asthalictrioraquilegiae) groups are not keyed to the species level, because additional research is needed to delimit the species more reliably in these groups. Phylogeny ofPristiphorais reconstructed based on one mitochondrial (COI) and two nuclear (NaK and TPI) genes. Remarkably, around 50–60% (depending on the exclusion or inclusion of thecarinata,micronematica, andrufipesgroups) of the species cannot be reliably identified based on COI barcodes. Limited data from nuclear genes indicate a better identification potential (about 20% remain problematic).

Some morphological, anatomical, palynological and karyological features of Lamium multifidum and L. orientale (Lamiaceae) naturally occurring in Turkey have been studied. Additional information was added to the previous description of these species. Anatomically, both L. multifidum and L. orientale had an annual taproot, stems quadrangular in cross-section, leaves bifacial. The nutlets were ovoid in outline and trigonous in cross section, blackish-dark brownish, with glabrous surface. The pollen grains of both species were tricolpate, shape subprolate, ornamentation reticulate. In both species, the somatic chromosome number resulted 2n = 14. The anatomical and palynological features, chromosome number and morphological characters of both species were reported for the first time in this study.

Cosmosoma auge(Linnaeus 1767) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) is a Neotropical arctiid moth common in Cuban mountainous areas; however, its life cycle remains unknown. In this work,C. augelife cycle is described for the first time; also, immature stages are described using a Cuban population. Larvae were obtained from gravid wild females caught in Viñales National Park and were fed with fresh leaves of its host plant, the climbing hempweedMikania micranthaKunth (Asterales: Asteraceae), which is a new host plant record. Eggs are hemispherical and hatching occurred five days after laying. Larval period had six instars and lasted between 20 and 22 days. First and last larval stages are easily distinguishable from others. First stage has body covered by chalazae and last stage has body covered by verrucae as other stages but has a tuft on each side of A1 and A7. Eggs and larvae features agree with Arctiinae pattern. Pupal stage lasted eight days, and, in general, females emerge before males as a result of pupal stage duration differences between sexes.

Carex firma Host is reported as a new host plant ofthe species; previously only Carex sempervirens Vill. was known to be host plant of E. zonulae. Some information on life history of this elachistid moth is also provided. The mature larva is 4.5—5.5 mm long. Pupation takes place usually at base of leaf blade of the food plant. The species is univoltine and hibernates as young larva.

The Palearctic Atemelia Herrich-Schäffer, 1853 is reviewed. Two species are treated, one of which is described as new: A. fusca Liu, sp. nov. The genus Atemelia is recorded in China for the first time, and it is also newly recorded from the Eastern Palearctic region. Larvae of A. fusca sp. nov. mine leaves of Ulmus pumila (Ulmaceae), sharing the same host plant genus with another leaf miner A. torquatella (Lienig & Zeller, 1846) from Europe, but they are distinctive from the Nearctic and the Neotropical Atemelia species in host plant families and life styles. Photographs of adults and genitalia of the Palearctic Atemelia are provided. Additional photographs of immature stages, leafmines, and host plant are provided for the new species. In addition, three DNA barcodes are provided for A. fusca sp. nov.
