LIFE CYCLE AND IMMATURE STAGES OF EURYMETOPUM MULTINOTATUM PIC, 1950 (COLEOPTERA: CLERIDAE: PHYLLOBAENINAE)

Abstract

The life cycle of Eurymetopum multinotatum Pie, 1950 (Coleóptera, Cleridae), under laboratory
conditions, is studied in this paper. The stock examples were collected from the Reserva Nacional
Río Clarillo, Región Metropolitana de Santiago, trying to secure fertilized females. The ovipositional
characteristics of the species, the duration and permanence of the different stages, i.e., immatures
and adults, and natural mortality and survival of them, are recognized. All these stages are described
and illustrated.
