N/A

Larvae of 4 species of Lophyra, 2 species of Habrodera and one species of Neolaphyra are described. A key to the determination of 2nd and 3rd instars of known larvae of the genus Lophyra is given, and morphological details are discussed in comparison with other Cicindela (sensu auctorum) groups. Larval morphological characters of Cincidela (s. auct.) are variable and often overlapping in different groups. However, it is possible to distinguish the taxa mentioned, which are regarded as separate genera in recent taxonomical concepts.
