Ceraeochrysa caligata (Banks, 1945) is one of the several species of Ceraeochrysa Adams, 1982 that occur in agroecosystems of the Neotropical region and show potential for use in biological control programs. However, little is known about its biology, partly because of the poor status of the systematics of this group. To help in the identification of C. caligata and to contribute with additional characters for future phylogenetic studies with the genus, here we characterize the variations in relation to the pattern of integument markings originally described for the adults and larvae and redescribe the three larval instars, including characters not considered in the original description, especially the number of setae in the tubercles and somatic segments. We also present preliminary results regarding the nature of the variation in the pattern of adult markings.

A larva e o pupário de Auloceromyia vespiformis Lindner são descritas pela primeira vez, com base em sete larvas e três pupários, coletados sob a casca de árvores caídas no Município de Lavras (21º 14' 43'' S - 44º 59' 59'' W - 919 m), estado de Minas Gerais. A larva foi comparada com larvas de outras espécies de Clitellariinae com relação a morfologia e a quetotaxia.

Herein we describe the larva and puparium of Auloceromyia vespiformis Lindner for the first time, based on seven larvae and three puparia, collected under the bark of fallen trees at Lavras (21º 14' 43'' S - 44º 59' 59'' W - 919 m), State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The larva was compared to larva of other Clitelariinae species with regard to general external morphology and chaetotaxy.
