Abstract

The morphology and chaetotaxy of the three larval instars of Ochthebius (Cobalius) subinteger Mulsant & Rey, 1861 are described and illustrated. The study revealed several characters on the cephalic capsule, head appendages, and the thoracic and abdominal segments that can be used for an easy identification of the species. An important array of larval characters distinguish Ochthebius subinteger from other larvae of the genus Ochthebius. The lack of the temporal seta T2 is, at present level of knowledge, a unique character whithin Hydraenidae. Several larval characters suggests a phylogenetic relationship between Ochthebius subinteger and the genus Calobius.
