Abstract: Cryptamorpha desjardinsii (Guérin-Méneville, 1844), a cosmopolitan silvanid
beetle, was found in a tropical house in the Prague ZOO. Larvae, pupae and
adults were collected from the axils of dying, mouldy leaves of areca palm trees
(Areca catechu) imported from Malaysia. All recorded stages are illustrated. The
length of the larval urogomphi is discussed: contrary to a statement by Thomas
(1988), the urogomphi of C. desjardinsii are long, distinctly longer than
abdominal segment X. The species is recorded for the first time from Bohemia.
