Tribe
Ergatini Fairmaire, 1864
The tribe
Ergatini
is composed of five genera with 20 species (
Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2018
). Only the larva and pupa of
Trichocnemis spiculatus
LeConte, 1851
, have been described (
Craighead 1915
). The larva of this species has: integument with texture leathery, dull, finely and densely rugose; pleural discs on six abdominal segments, finely rugose; epistomal margin projected above clypeal base at extremities; additional carina above epistoma bearing four large, blunt rounded teeth; three stemmata scarcely visible; mandible acutely triangular, rugose with upper and inner face dully striated; posterior area of pronotum finely rugose; legs 5-segmented.

FIGURES 10‒17.
Myzomorphus quadripunctatus
(Gray in Griffith, 1831)
. Pupa:
10‒12
habitus (dorsal, lateral, ventral). Larva:
