In the laboratory, we observed that the pupae fixed their body by attaching the apex of abdomen to dead leaves in the petri dish. The posterior three abdominal segments were covered with the exuvium of last instar larva. In particular, the posterior two abdominal segments were tightly enveloped with the exuvium of 10 th abdominal segment (Fig. 1 B). Surface of immature pupa was mostly white.	en	Yoshida, Takahiro, Hirowatari, Toshiya (2015): Larval and pupal morphology of three species of the genus Psammoecus Latreille (Coleoptera: Silvanidae: Brontinae) in Japan with reference to the number of larval instars.

Thus all developmental stages (eggs, larvae, pupae and adults) of the Psammoecus species seem to inhabit the same environment.	en	Yoshida, Takahiro, Hirowatari, Toshiya (2015): Larval and pupal morphology of three species of the genus Psammoecus Latreille (Coleoptera: Silvanidae: Brontinae) in Japan with reference to the number of larval instars.
