Abstract

Thanatophilus micans and T. mutilatus have significance for forensic entomology. Their larvae are therefore described and a key is provided for identifying the larvae of Afrotropical Silphidae based on morphological characters. It is shown that seven common species of Thanatophilus can be distinguished by a 360 bp mtDNA sequence from the cytochrome oxidase I gene.

非营养性Thanatophilus Leach，1817（鞘翅目，水螅科）幼虫种类和龄期的测定

米坎氏锥虫（Thanatophilus micans）和肢解锥虫（T.dismutus）对法医昆虫学具有重要意义。因此，对它们的幼虫进行了描述，并为根据形态学特征鉴定非洲水豚科的幼虫提供了关键。结果表明，从细胞色素氧化酶I基因中可以通过360bp的mtDNA序列来区分七种常见的Thanatophilus。

期刊介绍： African Invertebrates is an international peer-reviewed, open-access journal that focuses primarily on the taxonomy, systematics, biogeography, and palaeontology of Afrotropical invertebrates, whether terrestrial, freshwater or marine. Aspects concerning biology, ecology, and conservation may also be considered where these relate to the primary focus areas. Papers dealing solely with biology, ecology, physiology, pests and pest control should be submitted elsewhere.
