Authors

Abstract

Larvae of 12 New World Species of Passalidae are described and 7 species redescribed, bringing the total number of species described to 134 worldwide. A key is provided for all New World genera. Basic setal pattern differences differentiate New World Passalini from Proculini, with the latter tribe showing 2 basic groups of genera. Some exceptions to these basic patterns suggest possible nomenclatural changes.
