Abstract

Characters of the cephalic structures of the final instars of Leptocampoplex cremastoides (Holmgren) and of Macrus parvulus (Gravenhorst) are described. A specimen of L. cremastoides was reared from the bracket fungus Fomes fomentarius (Linnaeus ex Fries) Kickx and associated with remains of a microlepidopterous larva. Specimens of M. parvulus were reared from Solenobia walshella Clemens, a micropsychid. Relationships of the genera Leptocampoplex Horstmann and Macrus Gravenhorst are discussed.
