The information on the diversified radiation in both morphology and biology, which occurred
in the beetle family Meloidae (Coleoptera, Tenebrionoidea) at the pre-imaginal stage, is …

Meloid beetles are well characterised by both morphological and biological features.
Previous phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological characters assumed the …

The blister beetles (Coleoptera, Tenebrionoidea, Meloidae) include over 2500 species in
approximately 125 genera. This family is of general biological relevance because of its …

The discovery of some specimens of a new first instar larval type in blister beetles, collected
in Iran on Anthophora bees, confirms the existence of repetitive and parallel trends in …

One of the most recent classifications of Meloidae is based on the assumption that phoretic
first‐instar larvae evolved twice in the family, once in Meloinae and again in …

Abstract The triungulin of Meloe (Mesomeloe) coelatus, is described; the first instar larva of
this subgenus was previously unknown. In cluded is a comparative analysis of …

In this paper the larval morphology of the Palaearctic Meloe subgenera Eurymeloe and
Coelomeloe is revised. We describe the first instar larva of Meloe (Eurymeloe) apenninicus …

Meloidae is a beetle family with about 3000 species divided into three subfamilies and 16
tribes. Included is the tribe Lyttini containing 33 genera and about 400 species. However …

Postembryonic ontogeny in the Meloidae is described briefly and a nomenclature of larval
phases is proposed. Pyrota mutata Gemminger, P. niyrovittata (Haag-Rutenberg), and P …

The family Meloidae is best known among entomologists because of its hypermetamorphic
development, but at the same time a lack of detail has caused some misunderstanding of …
