Abstract

The larvae of Pterostichus (Bothriopterus) ohionis Csiki and P. (Gastrellarius) blanchardi Horn are described and compared respectively with the other known larvae of Bothriopterus Chaudoir and Gastrellarius Casey. A key to larvae of 38 species of Pterostichini occurring in eastern North America is presented.
