DESCRIPTIONS OF THE LARVAE OF SOME WEST INDIAN 
MELOLONTHINE BEETLES AND A KEY TO THE KNOWN 
LARVAE OF THE TRIBE? 
By Apam G. Bovine 
Tuts paper presents generic descriptions of the mature larvae of 
the genera Cnemarachis Saylor and Clemora Saylor; a specific 
description of the genotype Cnemarachis vandinei (Smyth) and 
taxonomic remarks about the larvae of Cnemarachis neglecta 
(Blanchard), @. suturalés (Chevrolat), C. dissimilis (Chevrolat), 
and (. portoricensis (Smyth) ; and a specific description of the larvae 
of the genotype Clemora smithi (Arrow) and taxonomic remarks 
about Clemora apicalis (Blanchard) and an undetermined species of 
Olemora from Cuba. After the descriptions is a synoptic key to the 
larvae of several exotic species of Melolonthini. The paper has been 
prepared to follow one by Lawrence W. Saylor? dealing with the 
taxonomy of the same forms in their adult stage.

1The data herein bearing on the systematic position in the Melolonthini of the North 
American genus Phyllophaga are to be incorporated in a comprehensive report on these 
beetles now being prepared under joint grants from the American Philosophical Society
