ABSTRACT:

The larvae of two cetoniine scarab beetles, Hoplopyga singularis (Gory and Percheron) from Brazil and Hologymnetis cinerea (Gory and Percheron) from Mexico, are described. The latter is the first description of a larva in this genus. Both of these species are included in a revised key to the larvae of New World Gymnetini (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae), which now includes ten species in eight genera.

Se aporta una nueva clave de identificación para las especies de Gymnetini (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae) del Nuevo Mundo, incluyendo un total de diez especies y ocho géneros.
