Popis: Larvae of 10 elmid species of the genera Stenelmis , Ordobrevia and Nomuraelmis were described based on SEM observation. Of these, S. hisamatsui , S. ishiharai , S. hayashii , O. amamiensis were described for the first time, and N. amamiensis was redescribed. The morphological types of the larvae corresponded to the monophyletic groups defined by the mitochondrial COI gene tree. A new key for larvae of all species from Japan with known larva is given. The larvae of the type species of Stenelmis and Ordobrevia are also described.
