Abstract
The eggs and first‐instar planidial larvae ofStilbula montana, Kapalasp.,Pseudometagea schwarzii, Orasemasp. (Eucharitidae),Perilampus chrysopae, Perilampus fulvicornis, Perilampus hyalinus(Perilampidae), andChrysolampus thenae(Pteromalidae: Chrysolampinae) are described. The morphological data are coordinated with the information available in the literature to develop general descriptions for the planidial larvae ofPerilampusand the Eucharitidae. Character states were polarized with reference to a ground plan chalcidoid larva and relationships were determined cladistically. Nine synapomorphies are suggested for the planidial larvae of Perilampidae and Eucharitidae, indicating a possible sister group relationship. A re‐examination of the larvae ofChrysolampus thenaeindicates that the Chrysolampinae could be the sister group of Perilampidae + Eucharitidae.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
