Extract

In this paper, an attempt has been made to describe the external morphology of eight species of larvae belonging to the family Anobiidae with a view to constructing keys for the identification of these larvae and providing descriptions by which identification can be definitely confirmed. Two keys have been drawn up for use according to whether whole larvae or mounted preparations of parts of larvae are being examined. Notes have been added at the end of the description of each larva giving particulars as to its habitat and points for comparison from the descriptions of other workers.

One point of interest that arises from the foregoing descriptions is that Hedobia, which has usually in the past been classified as a member of the family Ptinidae is definitely an Anobiid when the structure of the larva is considered.

In conclusion, I should like to thank Mr. R. S. Pearson, C.I.E., F.L.S., Director, Forest Products Research, for permission to publish this report.
