LARVAL MORPHOLOGY, BIOLOGY AND FAUNISTICS OF CICINDELIDAE (COLEOPTERA) FROM LEYTE, PHILIPPINES

Twelve species of Cicindelidae have been collected on Leyte island, th e Philippines. One of them, Thopeutica milanae, was new to science and described by WIESNER (1992a). Only three of the species were previous ly known from Leyte. Brief information on the general distribution of the species and collecting localities are given. The ground-burrowing larva of Lophyridia despectata (Horn 1892) and the bark-burrowing larv a of Tricondyla aptera (Olivier 1790) are described and figured, and a daptations to habitat by larval morphology are shown. Finally, notes o n the biology of these species, especially habitats and behaviour, are given.
