Abstract: The preimaginal stages (larva and pupa) of S. testaceus (Fabricius, 1792) and S.
marshami (Stephens, 1832) are described and illustrated. Larvae were reared from
eggs laid by imagines in the laboratory at a temperature of 20°C and long day
illumination. The development of the larvae of both species lasted 25 days,
that of the pupal stage 14 days. The larvae are mycetophagous. The larva of S.
testaceus differs from S. marshami by body colouration and arrangement of the
stemmata.
