Hydaticus tuyuensis Trémouilles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae): Larval morphology and phylogenetic relationships within Dytiscinae
The three larval instars of Hydaticus (Guignotites) tuyuensis Trémouilles are described and illustrated for the first time, emphasizing the morphometry and chaetotaxy. Second- and third-instar larvae of the known species of the subgenus Guignotites Brinck are characterized by a trilobate median proc...

The three larval instars of Hydaticus (Guignotites) tuyuensis Trémouilles are described and illustrated for the first time, emphasizing the morphometry and chaetotaxy.
