The mature larva of Gonioctena variabilis (Olivier, 1790) Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Chrysomelinae) and key to the larvae of the subgenus Spartoxena

Mature larva of Gonioctena (Spartoxena) variabilis (Olivier, 1790) is described and illustrated for the first time, based on specimens collected on Genista scorpius (L.) DC. [Fabaceae] in central Spain. A key to known larvae of the subgenus Spartoxena is provided, and the diagnostic characters are i...
