Abstract
The three larval instars of the Neotropical Abaris bigenera Bates, 188 2, are described. Based on this first larval description for the genus , Abaris larvae share two synapomorphies-extremely short coronal sutur e, and ventrally extended membranous band on the maxillary stipes-with the Mediterranean pterostichine genus Orthomus Chaudoir, 1838, sugges ting that they are closely related.
