Sumario:BACKGROUND: The genus Uloma Dejean, 1821 (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae, Ulomini) comprises more than 200 species and subspecies worldwide, 37 of which are recorded from China. However, the morphology of the immature stages of Chinese Uloma have been poorly documented. Up to now, larva and pupa descriptions are available for only one species, Uloma (Uloma) metogana Ren, 2004. NEW INFORMATION: The larva and pupa of Uloma (Uloma) intricornicula Liu, Ren & Wang, 2007, from southern China, are described and illustrated for the first time and are compared with those of U. (U.) metogana Ren, 2004. Differences between male and female pupae of this species are highlighted. New distributional data for U. (U.) intricornicula are also provided. Finally, 13 Uloma species from China are formally assigned to the nominated subgenus.
