The larval morphology of the genusHydrocassisFairmaire, 1878 is described on the basis of three species of the genus: second instar ofHydrocassis jengiSatô, 1998, all instars ofHydrocassis lacustris(Sharp, 1884) and second and third instars ofHydrocassis uncinataJi et Schödl, 1998; the former two belong to theHydrocassis scapulataspecies group and the latter to theHydrocassis scaphoidesspecies group. Primary chaetotaxy of the larval head ofHydrocassisis described based on the first instar larvae ofH. lacustris. Larval morphology of all genera of Sperchopsini with known larvae is summarized based on descriptions and figures from the literature, which are compared withHydrocassis: larval morphology ofHydrocassisis similar to that ofSperchopsis, and the presumably closely related genusAmetoris distinguishable fromHydrocassisby characters of larval morphology. A key to the Sperchopsini genera on the basis of larval characters is provided.
