Abstract
The morphological ontogeny of Minunthozetes pseudofusiger (Schweizer, 1922) is described and illustrated. The juveniles of this species have a humeral organ and a gastronotal shield which bears four pairs of setae in the larva (dm, dp, lp, h1) and 10 pairs in the nymphs (d-, l-, h-series, p1). The larva has 12 pairs of gastronotal setae, including h3, whereas the nymphs have 15 pairs. Setae of c-series are inserted on unsclerotized integument in all juveniles. Solenidion ω2 on tarsus I is longer than ω1 and situated anteriorly to ω1 in the nymphs and adult stage, as in most species of Melanozetes Hull, 1916.
