The first descriptions of the larval stage of Myrmeanthrenus frontalis Armstrong and Anthrenocerus stigmacrophilus Armstrong (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) are presented. The larva of Anthrenocerus australis (Hope) is illustrated and briefly characterized. In light of a morphology-based phylogenetic study, A. stigmacrophilus is more closely related to M. frontalis than it is to A. australis.
