Abstract
The larval form of Oedemera lucidicollis MOTCHULSKY, 1866 belonging to the Oedemerini is described and illustrated in detail. The larvae of this species occur in the rotten stems of the relatively large true grasses including Miscanthus sinensis. The known Oedemera larvae possess the following characteristics in common: Head-capsule not widened posteriorly; occipital foramen located on ventral surface; stemmata with 2 spots on each side. Antenna with 1st segment nearly as long as wide; sensory appendage longer than the 3rd. Ligula not projecting. Abdominal segments without asperity-bearing ampullae; urogomphi absent; 10th segment well-developed. Thoracic and abdominal spiracles usually with a single air tube.
