Resumo: Mature larva of Alampoides alychnus (Kirsch) is described and compared to known Pyrophorini immatures. Larvae were collected live in the soil of a region dominated by sugarcane plantation and gallery forest in Campo Novo dos Parecis, Mato Grosso, Brazil. They were maintained in laboratory and the pupal period lasted 14 days. This larva differs from other Pyrophorini larvae mainly by bioluminescent pattern: one pair of luminous spots on the mesonotum, and a longitudinal series of median spots on the metanotum and all abdominal segments. The morphology of larva and the bioluminescent pattern of larva and pupa are described for the first time to the genus and the tribe. The fact that adults show no trace of luminescence is emphasized.

A larva de Alampoides alychnus (Kirsch) é descrita e comparada às larvas bioluminescentes de espécies de Pyrophorini. Larvas foram coletadas vivas no solo, entre uma plantação de cana-de-açúcar e mata ciliar localizada em Campo Novo dos Parecis, Mato Grosso, Brasil. Foram mantidas em laboratório. Uma larva atingiu o estágio pupal e após 14 dias o estágio adulto. Estas larvas diferem das larvas de Pyrophorini principalmente pelo padrão de bioluminescência: um par de órgãos luminescentes no mesonoto e uma série de órgãos luminescentes medianos no metanoto e no abdômen. A morfologia da larva e o padrão bioluminescente da larva e da pupa são descritos pela primeira vez para o gênero e para a tribo. O adulto não apresentou luminescência ou vestígio de órgão luminescente.
