Material and methodsDuring the study of beetles' fauna of Lazovsky and Kurilsky Nature Reserves, larvae of Mycetina were collected and subsequently reared to adults. Upon determination, they appear to be of M. rufipennis rufipennis and M. marginalis (Figs 1-2).Habitus photographs were taken with a Canon EOS 40D camera with a MP-E 65 mm macro lens. Photos of slide mounts were taken with a Canon EOS6D camera attached to a Carl Zeiss AXIO Scope.A1microscope. All photos were processed using Helicon Focus 7.0 software. Line drawings were made in CorelDRAW 12. The measurements were taken with an ocular-micrometer mounted on a MBS-1 (Lomo) stereo microscope. The specimens were preserved in 70% ethanol or on slides with Faure's Berlese media and are deposited in Moscow
