論文の詳細を見る
The larvae inhabit wooded areas, apparently being found in the forest of broadleaved trees. The larvae are found both in the soil and leaf litter, but sometimes inhabit under the bark of various decaying woods. The larvae have been found attacking inactive stages of various insects, probably being exclusively carnivorous. Pupation occurs in October and the imago develops in November, spending the winter in its pupal chamber. Length 30mm.; greatest breadth about 6mm., (not fully distended specimen). Body strongly robust, subparallel-sided ; all the segments much broader than long. Ninth abdominal segment usually narrower than head. Dorsum dark brown or dark castaneous ; venter paler than dorsum. Dorsum sparsely and minutely punctulate, but almost smooth and having somewhat pitchy lustre. The principal diagnostic structures are figured in the Plate.
