| description | In this paper, the mature larva and pupa of <i>Bagous claudicans</i> are described and illustrated for the first time. Measurements of younger larval instars are also given. The biology of the species is discussed in association with larval morphology and feeding habits. Overall larval and pupal morphological characters of the genus <i>Bagous</i> are presented. Confirmation of the larva identification as <i>Bagous claudicans</i> species was conducted by cytochrome oxidase I (<i>COI</i>) sequencing. DNA barcoding was useful for specimen identification of larval stages. The systematic position of the species within the <i>Bagous collignensis</i>-group, based on morphological and molecular results, is also discussed. |
