Abstract

Adults of Carabus (Apotomopterus) prodigus Erichson were collected and larvae were reared in the laboratory. The morphology and chaetotaxy of the larva are described and illustrated for the first time. The phylogenetic position of Apotomopterus within Carabus is discussed based on larval character states. From similarities of the adnasale and urogomphus in the first instars of Apotomopterus and Calosoma Weber, it is concluded that Apotomopterus is a basal or primitive clade in the genus Carabus.
