SUMMARY:

Systematic studies on bees consist mostly of exploring the characteristics presented in their adult phase, mainly with regard to morphology. However, information about immature bees is of great relevance for taxonomic and morphofunctional knowledge, as well as those related to ecological aspects. Morphological studies involving bee larvae are scarce and are generally restricted to fifth instar larvae. Descriptions are based primarily on mandibular features, arrangement of body bristles, and spiracles. Therefore, this study presents a comparative morphological study of larvae of representatives of the Anthidiini tribe, aiming to expand the taxonomic knowledge of the group. Our data show that Anthidiini larvae represent a valuable source of information for the systematics of the group, with diagnostic features for tribe as well as generic diagnostic characteristics. Furthermore, the results obtained contribute to the understanding of the taxonomy of Apidae and can be used as an additional source of information in studies involving integrative taxonomy.
