CALOCHROMINAE

Immature stages described in literature. Lygistopterus sanguineus (L.) Latreille (1829), Perris (1846, 1877), Bourgeois (1882); key diagnosis in Korschefsky (1951) and Klausnitzer (1978); Macrolygistopterus sp. (Costa et al., 1988), Calochromus kashmirensis Kleine , C. darjeelingensis Bourgeois , C. tarsalis Waterhouse (Gardner, 1946) . Papp (1952) described as Calochromus sp. three instars of larvae collected in West Bengal. These larvae do not belong to Lycidae , because of the 3-segmented antennae (Papp, 1952, plate 1, figure C).

Diagnosis. Calochrominae resemble Macrolycini in the cylindrical body and shape of thoracic terga. Calochrominae share following characters: small, slender antennal peg, reduced, sclerotized mala, dorsally attached to palpifer, incomplete median membrane of tergite T1, very narrow median membrane of T2–T3, long, fixed urogomphi.
