“…Most species belonging to the subfamily Carabinae are insects that depend on walking owing to the degeneration of their hind wings (Choi et al 2019a(Choi et al , 2019b(Choi et al , 2020Deuve 2004;Park & Park 2013). Therefore, this group is easy to speciate or subspeciate because of geographical barriers that are not accessible by walking, and most species of this group have some subspecies (Bousquet et al 2003;Brezina 1999;Deuve 1994Deuve , 2004Kwon & Lee 1984;Park 2004;Park & Park 2013).…”

Most species of the genus Acoptolabrus are considerably rare and have a beautiful body color, making them interesting for collectors. Among the subspecies, A. mirabilissimus mirabilissimus is designated legally as an endangered species in Korea. However, studies on the adults and their immature stages remain limited. Thus, this study was carried out to identify the morphological characteristics of the larval stages. The larvae were obtained by captive breeding adult A. m. sangjuensis, a subspecies closely related to the protected subspecies, and examining them for external characteristics. Further, morphological descriptions and diagnostic characters of each stage of the larvae were provided, including their adult photos.
