Abstract
This publication describes the natural history and morphology of the immatures of two beetles species associated with bromeliads, Calliaspis umbonata Hincks, 1956 and Calliaspis cinnabarina Boheman, 1850 (Cassidinae: Imatidiini). Immature stages were previously unknown for the genus. Adults and larvae of both species are leaf scrapers. Mature larvae of C. umbonata are described based on a set of characters previously published for immature beetles. Descriptions and illustrations are provided for both species, in addition to a summary of the information presently available for immature stages of Imatidiini. (AU)
