Resumen:
The three larval instars of Gymnochthebius
jensenhaarupi (Knisch, 1924) are described and illustrated,
including a detailed analysis of their chaetotaxy and porotaxy. The specimens
used in this study were collected with adults of G. jensenhaarupi and
have been identified as such by association. Comparative notes on the
morphology of these larvae with other species of the subfamily Ochthebiinae are
given. A hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships between G. jensenhaarupi
and other members of Ochthebiinae with thoroughly described larvae is
presented. The monophyly of Ochthebiinae is supported by additional larval
features. On the other hand Ochthebius, as currently composed, seems to
by paraphyletic. Gymnochthebius Orchymont, 1943 is confirmed as the sister group of Aulacochthebius
Kuwert, 1887.
