Abstract

The eggs, 1st and 3rd instar larvae of W alterianella bucki Bechyné are described and illustrated. The life history of W. bucki is discussed and artificial rearing methods are presented; W. bucki feeds on Buddleja sp. (Buddlejaceae) and is nocturnal.

First instar larvae differ in morphology from 3rd instar larvae, the latter showing significant additions. Differences between these and other known Oedionychina larvae are discussed. This is the first report of interstitial larvae for the oedionychine flea beetles.

The importance of sequestration to W. bucki of the iridoid glycoside, acubin, is discussed.
