Abstract

The first instar and mature larva and pupa of Cassidispa relicta Medvedev, 1957, a newly recorded species from China, are described and figured. The chaetotaxy of the head, mouthparts, legs, and dorsal and ventral surfaces of the body is described. This is the first detailed description of immatures in the genus Cassidispa. Diagnostic characters of this species are compared with other described immatures of some Hispini genera. Biological notes on C. relicta, such as host plants, feeding patterns of adults, structure of larval mines and life history, are also presented.
