Summary

[edit]
Description is one of the most extreme cases of sexual dimorphism in insects. The females of this beetle look like a caterpillar – so called larviforme females - completely lacking of wings and other adult characters. They live on the ground in the shells of snails, feeding of the inabitants, previously killed with a poisonous bite and sucked in with the help of digestive enzymes.
