Life Cycle and Larval Morphology of Diomus terminatus (Coleoptera:Coccinellidae) and Its Potential ...

Short but very informational article on this lady beetle's life cycle and prey. Includes descriptions of all larval instars, dorsal illustrations of first and fourth instars, and illustration of fourth instar head.

Barr, W. F. 1975. Taxonomic notes and new synonymies of some North American Acmaeodera (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)

Overall, the title describes this work. I place it here specifically in reference to Acmaeodera tuta under which name Barr synonymized A. robusta rubrosuffusa. In my opinion, looking on the MCZ Type Database at images of the relevant type specimens, his opinion is suspect. However, it is the prevailing taxonomy, and accordingly I have moved all BugGuide images that were identified as A. robusta to A. tuta. A serious study of this situation is needed.
