Those themes have been explored in less than 20% of the species recorded for that country. Most of those articles represent only descriptions of the last instar larva, so that there is still much to explore in terms of comparative studies.179-193engInstarLarvaeMorphologyPolistinaePupaeCapítulo de livro10.1007/978-3-030-53510-0_92-s2.0-85148681503
