BugGuide suggested this is Fannia or near. Found March 17, 2011 on fallen leaves in deciduous woods in Massachusetts, USA.   Larger sizes: dorsal, ventral It resembles some beetles and mealybugs, but is clearly different from any I have seen pictures of. Edited by John Carr on 22-01-2013 01:58 |

it is the larva of a Fannidae, but I'm not familiar with the Nearctic fauna, so I can't tell if there is more than one genus overthere (besides Fannia). |

Are there any keys to North American Fanniidae larvae, or other useful references? |

I acquired the last revision (Chillcott 1961) and identified this as Fannia cf. brevipalpis (related to European minutipalpis). Most American larvae are unknown. |
