AB  - The mature larvae of the following fourteen Rhinusa species are described and illustrated:
Rhinusa antirrhini (Paykull, 1800), R. asellus (Gravenhorst, 1807), R. collina (Gyllenhal,
1813), R. eversmanni (Rosenschoeld, 1838), R. florum (Rubsaamen, 1895), R. herbarum
(H. Brisout de Barneville, 1862), R. incana (Kirsch, 1881), R. linariae (Panzer, 1796),
R. melas (Boheman, 1838), R. neta (Germar, 1821), R. pilosa (Gyllenhal, 1838), R. rara
Toševski & Caldara, 2015, R. tetra (Fabricius, 1792), and R. vestita (Germar, 1821). The
pupae of thirteen of them (except R. incana) were also described. The comparison of
larval morphological characters and plant preferences provides evidence supporting
the existence of different species groups previously established according to a phylogenetic
analysis based on adult morphological characters. The following diagnostic
attributes distinguishing the genus Rhinusa are highlighted. For the larvae: (1) pronotal
shield indistinct; (2) thoracic prodorsal fold small or even vestigial; (3) abdominal postdorsal
folds (especially of segments III–VII) high or even in the form of conical protuberances;
(4) cuticle of abdominal segments densely covered with asperities; (5) cuticle
without dark spots or dark pigmentation; (6) head suboval, rarely round; (7) labrum usually
with 2 als; (8) des1 short or absent, rarely elongated; and (9) fs1-3 usually absent or
minute. For the pupae: (1) body stout; (2) head protuberances always present; (3) pronotal
protuberances (if present), separated at bases of the pronotum, always wider than
higher; (4) abdominal protuberance usually present, wide or round; (5) femora usually
with a single fes; and (6) urogomphi short or vestigial. Keys to the larvae and pupae
described here are provided. All the characters used for identification are illustrated by
photographs or drawings. Biological and distribution data, including new information,
are provided for all the species studied.

AB  - The immature stages of ten Mecinus species are described for the first time and those of two other species are redescribed, adding important chaetotaxy characters that were missing from previous descriptions. These species belong to six of the nine assemblages of Mecinus species previously established according to a phylogenetic analysis. All these groupings are confirmed on the basis of several characters of mature larvae and pupae. Moreover, all the species show several characters that are useful for distinguishing them from each other, including cryptic species that previously had few differential characters. Some characters that may be useful for separating Mecinus from other genera in the tribe are suggested. To confirm the taxonomic identification of some larvae, the mtCOII gene was obtained and compared with sequences from identified adult specimens. The most important characters for separating the immature stages of the genera and species groups in Mecinus are the number of palpomeres of the labial palpi (1 or 2), the number of air tubes of the thoracic and abdominal spiracles (unicameral or bicameral), and the number of epipharyngeal setae. The species studied herein were compared with those known from other genera in the tribe Mecinini. Two keys, one to the described larvae and the other to the pupae, are provided. Detailed biological data, several of which are new, on some species are reported.

AB  - herbarum, R. melas and R. mauritii groups are revised. The R. linariae group includes three species: R. linariae (Panzer, 1795), R. brisouti (Faust, 1891) and R. kumatschevi (Bajtenov, 1977). The R. herbarum group also includes three species: R. herbarum (H. Brisout de Barneville, 1863), R. mateui (Hoffmann, 1965) and R. vulpeculus (Reitter, 1907). The R. melas group includes two species: R. melas (Boheman, 1838) and R. korotyaevi sp. n. (Israel, Jordan). Lastly, the R. mauritii group is monobasic. The lectotypes of Gymnetron consors Desbrochers des Loges, 1898, Gymnetron herbarum H. Brisout de Barneville, 1863, Gymnetron heydeni Desbrochers des Loges, 1869, and Gymnetron melas Boheman, 1838 are designated. The following new synonymy is proposed: Rhinusa herbarum (H. Brisout de Barneville, 1863) = Gymnetron semirufum Desbrochers des Loges, 1898 (syn. n.). For each species treated, description or redescription, notes on type specimens, synonymies, comparative notes, distribution, bionomics when available, photographs of the habitus and drawings of the rostra, genitalia and other structures useful for taxonomy are provided. A key including all the groups of Rhinusa as currently considered is provided for the first time.
