Abstract

Larvae of Desicasta laevicostata (van de Poll 1886) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Gymnetini) were found developing in living stalk tissue of the bromeliad Vriesea sanguinolenta Cogn. and Marchal (Bromeliaceae) in Panama. This is the first record of Cetoniinae using living plant tissue as a larval substratum. The male of this species is described for the first time and its aedeagus is figured.
