Abstract
Immature stages of holometabolous insects represent a useful source of information for phylogenetic studies. However, knowledge about immature stages of insects is generally poor.
This paper presents a historical overview on the study of immature Cetoniinae and provides an up-to-date list of 194 so far described taxa at the species level. Most immature stages are described for the Cetoniini.
Larvae of Microvalgini, Taenioderini, and Phaediminini are unknown, while the larvae of Platygeniini need to be redescribed.
