Lytta zubovi is a poorly known sexually dimorphic species of blister beetles recently described from Crimea. The female, until now known only from a photograph, is described and the first instar larva obtained from eggs is described and figured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Larval morphology greatly supports the previous tentative placement in the genus Lytta.

Abstract
Lytta zubovi is a poorly known sexually dimorphic species of blister beetles recently described from Crimea. The female, until now known only from a photograph, is described and the first instar larva obtained from eggs is described and figured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Larval morphology greatly supports the previous tentative placement in the genus Lytta.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
