Abstract
The mature larva and pupa of Anthonomus santacruzi Hustache (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) are illustrated and described for the first time. Biological data obtained from field-collected specimens are also presented and discussed. Lastly, an upgraded key for selected Anthonomini pupae is also given.
