Abstract
A key to the known larvae of the familes of Heteromera (Cucujoidea) is presented for the world and a summary of about 44 additional characters where known for each family is also included to distinguish, characterize and classify the known larvae as well as place in the system the great majority of larvae that still remain to be discovered. The key is intended not only for those who wish to identify but also for those who want to learn the existing gaps in our knowledge on this subject and problems for future research, such as the immature stages of Dacoderidae, Diphyllidae, Merycidae, Pterogeniidae, Trictenotomidae, Xylophilidae (and the primitive genera and tribes of all others) which are still not known to science.
