In the conditions of the Republic of Belarus there were studied morphological features of 15 species of the following larvae: Tomoxia busephala Coata, 1854; Variimorda villosa (Schrank, 1781); Mordella holomelaena Apfelbeck, 1914; Modellistena parvula (Gyllenhal, 1827); M. kraatzi Emery, 1876; M. pumila (Gyllenhal, 1810); M. phseudoparvula Ermish, 1956; M. weisei Schilsky, 1895; M. acuticollis Schilsky, 1895; M. humeralis (Linnaeus, 1758); Mordellaria aurofasciata (Commolli, 1837), and Mordellistenula perrisi (Mulsant, 1856). The question of number of apical spines at apex of abdomen of the larvae of mordellid beetles and features of an attachment of their antennae is considered. Based on the morphological features of the larvae and imago of mordellid beetles, the genus Natirrica Costa, 1854, stat. rest. The descriptions of the larvae Natirrica humeralis (Linnaeus, 1758), comb. n., Mordellaria aurofasciata (Comolli, 1837) and Mordellistenula perrisi (Mulsant, 1856) are given. In course of the study there were given details of anatomical structure of Mordellistenula perrisi, Mordellaria aurofasciata, and Natirrica humeralis larvae.
