Description:

The larvae of Netocia morio (Fabricius, 1781), Netocia oblonga (Gory & Percheron, 1833), Potosia opaca (Fabricius, 1787) and Potosia cuprea brancoi Baraud 1992 are described. Comparison of the morphology of both genera revealed important differences in raster structure, mandibles and frontal setae. The systematic position of both genera based on larval characteristics is discussed. Some aspects of larval biology are discussed.
