Nice, looks quite similar to Coniontini larvae!
They are both in the Pimeliinae, so that makes sense. :)

Better start being careful ;)
Quite a while ago:

“Yep, looks exactly like Coniontis, its larvae are very unique, and I’ve raised them myself.”

(ends up with a fat eusattus, )

Lol!
Well I'm still quite confident that one is indeed a Eusattus larva, but yeah I'm gonna have to more careful with giving genus IDs for other similar looking individuals, as it seems this body type is definitely not restricted to the Coniontini!

I believe that you
have moved several other larvae to genus Coniontis based on appearance alone. Time to throw them back in the unidentified pile?

Only two...
And considering the locations of those two, I'm still confident with my IDs. :)
