“…Only some elaterid larvae found in leaf litter and in rotten wood are predacious according to Becker (1 99 1). Predacious habits are also reported for larvae of Artematopidae (Costa et al 1985). which live in mats of mosses.…”

External and internal structures of larvae of Elateriformia were studied and interpreted phylogenetically. Detailed descriptions of the head of representatives of the superfamilies Dryopoidea (Lanternarius sp.; Heteroceridae), Elateroidea (Melanotus sp.; Elateridae), and Cantharoidea (Phosphaena sp.; Lampyridae) are presented. Internal structures of larvae of Eulichadidae, Callirhipidae, Psephenidae, Dryopidae, Limnichidae, Artematopidae, Drilidae, and Homalisidae were examined for the first time. Loss of the mandibular mola is a common derived feature of Elateriformia. Prognathism, the presence of a broad, sclerotized gula, and an abdominal apex which is formed by tergite IX are considered as synapomorphies of Dryopoidea + Elateroidea + Cantharoidea. The presence of a characteristic maxillolabial complex and vertically arranged extrinsic maxillary muscles strongly support a monophylum comprising Dryopoidea (excluding Eulichadidae and Ptilodactylidae partim), Elateroidea, and Cantharoidea. As currently defined, Ptilodactylidae are paraphyletic. A monophylum comprising Eulichadidae and Ptilodactylidae (excluding Araeopidius and Cladotominae) is supported by the presence of a rigid, articulated mandibular process and paired lobes of segment X, which border the anus laterally. The monophyly of Elateroidea, Cantharoidea, and Dryopoidea (excluding Callirhipidae, Eulichadidae, and Ptilodactylidae part.) is suggested by apomorphic features of the tentorium and by the origin of the vertical maxillary muscles from the strongly modified posterior tentorial arm. The monophyly of Dryopoidea (excluding Callirhipidae, Eulichadidae, and Ptilodactylidae part.) remains open to question. A sister‐group relationship between the dryopoid families Limnichidae and Heteroceridae is indicated by a specialized vestiture of setae, a hyaline antennal appendage, and a sclerotized, cranial tentorial connecting bar. The monophyly of Araeopidius, Cladotominae, Chelonariidae, Psephenidae, Dryopidae, Lutrochidae, and Elmidae is suggested by the presence of a ventrally hinged operculum of segment IX. The presence of plumose setae on the mouthparts is a possible synapomorphy of Chelonariidae, Psephenidae, Lutrochidae, and Elmidae. The presence of three retractable anal gills is considered as a significant synapomorphy of the latter three families. The monophyly of Elateroidea + Cantharoidea is indicated by partial reduction and immobilization of the labrum, loss of labral muscles (Brachypsectra?), the presence of a strongly developed M. tentoriohypopharyngalis lateralis, and the presence of a setose pre‐oral filter (groundplan). Complete fusion of clypeus and labrum is considered as a possible synapomorphy of the elateroid families (excluding Artematopidae) on the one hand, and of Cantharoidea (excluding Brachypsectridae) on the other. Highly aberrant, plate‐like mandibles with restricted mobility and longitudinal sclerotizations of the prosternum are considered as synapomorphies of Cerophytidae, Throscidae, and Eucnemidae.

“…The immatures of the family Nosodendridae were still unknown. Still, after these observations, a myriad of larvae, pupae, and adults of this species was found in other locations in Casuarinas with exudate (Costa et al, 1986a) The same occurred with larvae of at least two other families that were still unknown: Lutrochidae (Costa et al, 1996) and Cneoglossidae (Costa et al, 1999b), collected inside wood underwater in lakes and streams, and those of Artematopodidae (Costa et al, 1985), found in ravine soil inside the forest, among others.…”

We present a brief biography of Dr. Cleide Costa, eminent entomologist from Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZUSP). She has been dedicating the last six decades to the study of adults and immatures of Coleoptera. Dr. Costa is the pioneer in collecting and rearing immature beetles in Brazil, being responsible for establishing the most extensive Latin American collection of reared immatures Coleoptera. We discuss central aspects of her personal history, as well as career landmarks and achievements. A compilation of taxa introduced to science by her, taxa named in her honor, and a full list of her scientific, educational and cultural production are provided in chronological order. More than a biographical account, this publication is an acknowledgment of Dr. Cleide Costa’s legacy to entomology.

“…Costa et al (1995) described the first known Lagrioida larva (that of L. nortoni Costa et al ), noting that it resembled typical anthicid larvae in having a penicillus at the base of the mandible and the absence of interurogomphal pits. The larva differed from those of typical Anthicidae in having 5 pairs of stemmata and a frontoclypeal suture.…”

Relationships of the anthicid subfamily Lagrioidinae are discussed in detail and evidence presented supporting treatment of this group as a distinct family, Lagrioididae, stat. nov., of Tenebrionoidea, unrelated to the family Anthicidae. Lagrioida rufula Fairmaire & Germain, 1860 is designated as the type species of Lagrioida Fairmaire & Germain, 1860. Two new Australian species, L. norfolkensis Lawrence & Ślipiński sp. nov. (Norfolk Island) and L. tasmaniae Lawrence & Ślipiński sp. nov.(Tasmania and Victoria) are described and illustrated. All remaining species are redescribed and key to the species is provided.
