In this study, the larva and pupa of Agrilus adelphinus are described and illustrated. DNA barcoding ( COI gene) was used to associate the larval and pupal stages with adults based on the maximum-likelihood method. In the resulting phylogenetic tree, species from the same species-group were found to...
