RESUMENLas larvas y adultos de varias especies de Astaena dañan las raíces y el follaje de cultivos en climas templados y fríos en Colombia. En el presente artículo se describen la larva de tercer estadio y la pupa de macho y hembra de Astaena valida Burm., se ilustran sus caracteres diagnósticos y se propone una clave para distinguir sus larvas de otros Melolonthinae locales. Se confirmó que las larvas son rizófagas, y se encuentran en grupos de hasta 36 ejemplares/m 2 , prosperan en suelos disfuncionales, asociados a la rizósfera de yuca, pastos, cafeto, fique, tomate, piña, espárragos, maíz y ornamentales. Los adultos son fototáxicos, estacionales, activos en el período de lluvias de octubre y noviembre. Palabras Clave: Escarabajos, Astaena, rizófagos, larvas, Colombia. ABSTRACTLarvae and adults of some species of the genus Astaena may damage the roots and leaves of cultivated plants in the temperate and cold climates in Colombia. The third instar larva as well as male and female pupae of Astaena valida Burm. are described and illustrated. An identification key for the larvae of some genera of Colombian Melolonthinae is included. Larvae of A. valida live in disfunctional soils feeding on roots of yucca, grass, coffee, fique, tomato, pineapple, asparagous, maize and ornamental plants, with densities up to 36 grubs/m 2 . Adults have seasonal activity during October-November rainfall period, and are attracted to electric lights.

“…Similar shape of claw is reported only for Hypselogenia geotrupina (Oberholzer 1959). Further known larvae of Goliathini posses diff erent types of claw: falcate claw with four setae (Anisorrhina fl avomaculata (Fabricius 1798)); claw with cylindrical base and falcate apical half with several setae in the middle of the claw (Amaurodes passerini Westwood 1844); cylindrical claw with or without small tip and about 8-10 setae organized in two rows (larvae of other genera) (Donaldson 1987;Kühbander & Carl 1994;Nogueira et al 2004). Th e other distinctive characters are (3) the spindle-shaped ultimate antennomera, (4) the small stridulatory area of mandibles, consisting of 7-12 transverse ridges or (5) the absence of an external tooth on the lateral face of mandibles.…”

“…Th e presence of metathoracic egg-bursters ("oviruptors" or "hatching spines" by various authors) in the fi rst instar larvae of Cetoniinae has been reported only for a few species; Heterrorhina elegans (Fabricius 1871) and Neoscelis dohrni (Westwood 1855) from the tribe Goliathini (Gardner 1935, Nogueira et al 2004, Gametis histro (Olivier 1789) and Cetonia aurata (L. 1758) from the tribe Cetoniini (Gardner 1935, van Emden 1941. Van Emden (1941) observed similar structures also in Osmoderma eremita (Scopoli 1775) (subfamily Trichiinae) and in many other species from the family Scarabaeidae and concluded that the presence of egg-bursters may be a good identifi cation character for fi rst instar larvae.…”

Larva of the fruit beetle Dicronocephalus wallichi bourgoini Pouillaude 1914 is described and illustrated. The following unique morphological characters within Cetoniinae are discussed: shape of claw, spindle-shaped last antennomera, general body shape. The presence of metathoracic eggbursters in the fi rst instar larva has been found. Its signifi cance for distinguishing the fi rst instar larvae of Cetoniinae is discussed. The nesting behaviours of D. wallichi bourgoini and D. adamsi (Pascoe 1863) are described. The course of the life cycle of both species under laboratory condition is presented and discussed. Résumé. Description des larves deDicronocephalus wallichi bourgoini (Coleoptera : Scarabaeidae : Cetoniinae) avec des observations sur les la nidifi cation et sur le cycle biologique de deux espèces de Dicronocephalus en conditions de laboratoire. La larve de Dicronocephalus wallichi bourgoini Pouillaude 1914 est décrite et illustrée. Les caractères suivants sont uniques parmi les Cetoniinae et sont discutés : forme des griffes, dernier antennomère fusiforme, forme générale du corps. On note la présence de dents d'éclosion sur le métathorax. La signifi cation de ce caractère pour distinguer le premier stade larvaire des Cetoniidae est discutée. Les comportements de nidifi cation de D. wallichi bourgoini et D. adamsi (Pascoe 1863) sont décrits. Le déroulement du cycle de vie de ces deux espèces en conditions de laboratoire est présenté et discuté.

Cetoniinae is one of the showiest scarab groups, exhibiting bright‐metallic body colors, and usually attract great attention from entomologists and amateur collectors. Larvae of Cetoniinae show dramatically diversity on morphology and living habits. Although being considered one of the best‐studied groups of Scarabaeidae, larvae have been described for less than 5% species to the known Cetoniinae. In this study, the final instar larva of Lasiotrichius succinctus hananoi was described using scanning electron microscopy. The larvae are peculiar for bearing a haptomeral process dividing 10 spines into two groups: six on the left side, four on the right side, different from the previous descriptions on L. succinctus (Pallas, 1781). The morphological differences under SEM imply the further requirement of taxonomic revision in Lasiotrichius. Both advantage and disadvantage of SEM utilizing in larval descriptions were briefly discussed.
