Abstract

The first description for the larval stage of Eurysphindus LeConte is provided based on the North American species Eurysphindus hirtus LeConte and Eurysphindus comatulus McHugh. Diagnoses are given to distinguish the larvae of these species. New host data for the genus suggest greater specificity for breeding than for adult feeding. Eurysphindus species may prefer to breed in some foliicolous myxomycetes. Eurysphindus hirtus larvae use modified setae to hold slime mold sporangia over the dorsum in an apparent cloaking behavior.
