In China, a lot of works have been performed in the classification of longhorn beetles, but there is still few works on the larval stage.
The author attempts to meet the demand of entomologists working or teaching in various fields of forestry and agriculture, this volume of Cerambycid larvae of China is prepared.
In this volume, 160 species of cerambycid larvae belonging to 79genera of 33 tribes of 5subfamilies are provided, with 132 illustrations, and keys to subfamilies and tribes are provided. The author expects that this work will be useful not only for identification of cerambycid larvae, but also for promoting the phylogenetic and macrotaxonomic study of Cerambycidae in this country.
