The adults and larvae of Passalidae are subsocial insects commonly found in tropical forests, living in decaying wood gallery systems constructed by adults. Currently, few repots on the larvae of Neotropical Passalidae have been published and information is scarce. In this study, the Passalus (Pertinax) gravelyi Moreira, 1922 larvae is described for the first time, based on ten larval specimens 1 (1° instar), 4 (2º instar), and 5 (3º instar) associated with three adults collected from a single colony at the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). The description was carried out based on electronic and digital photographs of diagnostic structures, with some details on the systematic of the species. The larvae of Passalus gravelyi has the general setal ‘Pertinax’ pattern and differed from others by 16 to 18 setae on the anal ring, the other larvae data from Brazilian species show the anal ring with 10 to 12 setae. A discussion on the presence of sexual dimorphism in 62 species of two and three instars of Passalidae larvae is provided for the first time. Besides, a description of the terminal ampulla present as a cuticular structure found in the medial-ventral area of the 9th abdominal sternite in males is also given. The terminal ampulla was only observed in the Passalidae male larvae and was not visible in female larvae. The terminal ampulla are acknowledged now in males of 64 passalid species, that are taxonomically distributed in world tropical forests, at the Oriental and Australian subfamily Aulacocyclinae (Aulacocyclini & Ceracupini) and the cosmotropical subfamily Passalinae (Solenocyclini, Macrolinini, Passalini, & Proculini). Passalidae son insectos subsociales, los adultos y larvas son comunes en bosques tropicales, viven dentro de troncos podridos en un sistema de galerías construido por los adultos. A la fecha, pocos estudios han sido publicados sobre larvas de Passalidae neotropicales. En el presente trabajo, se describe por primera vez la larva de Passalus (Pertinax) gravelyi Moreira, 1922, con base en 10 especímenes: uno de primer estadio, cuatro de segundo estadio y cinco de tercer estadio, asociados con tres adultos de un grupo familiar recolectado en el Parque Nacional de Itatiaia (Río de Janeiro, Brasil). La descripción esta fundamentada en microfotografías electrónicas y digitales de los caracteres diagnósticos que muestran detalles sobre la sistemática de la especie. La larva de Passalus gravelyi muestra el patrón setal general de ‘Pertinax’ y difiere de otras larvas del subgénero Pertinax por tener el anillo anal con 16 a 18 setas, las seis especies de larvas descritas del Brasil tienen en el anillo anal con 10 a 12 setas. Por primera vez se discute la presencia de dimorfismo sexual en larvas de 62 especies de Passalidae, describiendo el ampulla terminal presente en el macho y localizada en el área cuticular media ventral del noveno esternito abdominal. El ampulla terminal es visible ventralmente solo en la larva macho y no es visible en la larva hembra; esta estructura cuticular es común en el macho sobre el noveno esternito abdominal del segundo y tercer estadio larval y no está presente en la larva de primer estadio. El ampulla terminal es conocida en 62 especies agrupadas taxonómicamente en la subfamilia oriental y australiana Aulacocyclinae (Aulacocyclini & Ceracupini) y en la subfamilia cosmotropical Passalinae (Solenocyclini, Macrolinini, Passalini, & Proculini).

Este estudo propiciou o reconhecimento de novos caracteres para uma melhor definição dos gêneros e de suas afinidades, bem como evidenciou a heterogeneidade do grupo. Os resultados, quando comparados ao estudo de representantes de Cleomenes Thomson, 1864 e de Rhopalophorini Blanchard, 1845, evidenciaram que: 1) Listroptera, Haenkea e Dihammaphora são os mais relacionados entre sí e compartilham muitos caracteres sinapomórfieos com Rhopalophora, não tendo nenhuma afinidade com Cleomenes; as hipóteses de sua transferência para Rhopalophorini e de sua provável unidade como grupo dentro desta tribo, são consideradas; 2) Pandrosos pode ser transferido para Rhinotragini Thomson, 1860; 3) Fregolia deverá ser alocado em alguma das tribos de Cerambycinae com olhos grosseiramente facetados; 4) Eupempelus apresenta alguns caracteres semelhantes aos de Heteropsini Lacordaire, 1869, mas sua alocação em tribo necessita maiores estudos; 5) Dihammaphoroides apresenta muitos caracteres em comum com o grupo Listroptera, Haenkea e Dihammaphora; entretanto, suas peculiaridades e semelhanças com Cleomenes não permitem, no momento, sua realocação em outra tribo. O estudo evidenciou, ainda, espécies não congenéricas agrupadas em um mesmo gênero. Abstract: A detailed morphological comparative study of the Neotropical genera of Cleomenini Lacordaire, 1869 - Listroptera A.-Serville, 1834; Dihammaphora Chevrolat, 1855; Pandrosos Bates, 1867; Eupempelus Bates; 1870; Fregolia Gounelle, 1911; Haenkea Tippmann, 1955 and Dihammaphoroides Zajciw, 1967 -, based on their type species, along with other congeneric species, is presented. The study provided the recognition of new characters to better define the genera and their affinities, but also stressed the heterogeneity of the group. The results, when compared to the studied representatives of Cleomenes Thomson, 1864 and Rhopalophorini Blanchard, 1845, showed that: 1) Listroptera, Haenkea and Dihammaphora are closely related, sharing several synapomorphies with Rhopalophora and having no affinities with Cleomenes; the hypotheses of its transfer to Rhopalophorini and its unity as a group within this tribe, must be taken in account; 2) Pandrosos may be reassigned to Rhinotragini Thomson, 1860; 3) Fregolia must be allocated within a Cerambycinae tribe with coarsely faceted eyes; 4) the affinities of Eupempelus remain inconclusive, despite some similarities to the Heteropsini Lacordaire, 1869; 5) Dihammaphoroides, though sharing several features with Listroptera, Haenkea and Dihammaphora, presents many peculiarities along with some similarities to Cleomenes, requiring further investigation. The study also pointed out non-congeneric species under the same genus name.
