Linssen's Beetles of the British Isles shows a few carabid larvae, and Loricera has the prominent tooth on the mandibles and long cerci. But Andy Chick may be right, though I don't understand the first bit. I've never knowingly seen a leiodid larva. John Bratton |

Many thanks to everybody, never seen a specimen from this family yet. I think Andy Chick meant 'over 10 segments'. Best regards, Walter |

John Bratton[/quote] sorry yes i ment "over ten" Luff states in cooter 1991 "abdomen 10 segmented (including anal tube)" i cant rememeber where is got Leiodid from (probably one of the archaic jopurnal articles here in the lab!) but another suggestion be Staphylindae, |

To my eye, the picture shows ten abdominal segments including the anal tube, which I assume is the pale projection about a third the length of the cerci. |
