Abstract

The instar III larva of Agabus (Acatodes) browni Kamiya, 1934 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae: Agabinae) is described for the first time with emphasis on chaetotaxy. The larva is characterized by a yellow-brown frontoclypeus with a central anterior diamond-shaped dark brown macula, the serrated inner ventral margin of the distal half of the mandible, and the abdominal segment VIII with both short and three pairs of long hair-like setae. The larva is compared to those of A. conspicuus Sharp, 1873, and A. japonicus Sharp, 1873 from Honshu and western Japan. A key to identify the instar III larvae of these species is provided.

期刊介绍： Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
