Tribe
Meroscelisini Thomson, 1861
The tribe
Meroscelisini
is composed of 20 genera and 52 species (
Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2018
). Immature stages of four species belonging to four genera have been described: the larva of
Microplophorus magellanicus
Blanchard, 1851
from the
Falkland Islands
, described by
Duffy (1960)
.
Cekalovic (1970)
redescribed the larva and described the pupa of this species;
Polyoza lacordairei
Audinet-Serville, 1832
, briefly described by
Heller (1904)
;
Tragosoma harrisii
LeConte, 1851
described by
Craighead (1915)
; and
Trichoderes pini
Chevrolat, 1843
, described by
Candèze (1861)
. Currently, the only pupa described is that of
Microplophorus magellanicus
by
Duffy (1960)
.
The genus
Polyoza
Audinet-Serville, 1832
is monotypic.
Heller (1904)
described the larva of
Polyoza lacordairei
. Herein, based on larval and pupal exuviae, the larva of this species is redescribed and the pupa described.
The genus
Quercivir
Lameere, 1912
is composed of two species. Herein, the larva of
Quercivir gounellei
Lameere, 1912
is described. This is the first description of an immature stage for this genus.
