Abstract
The key for puparia of the three species of larch-cone-flics (Strobilomyia) is developed based on their external morphological characteristics on anal (posterior) part which includes segmental protrusions and background texture. Some characteristics which are only visible under scanning microscope are also included even though they are supplementary in this key. Those three commonly found larch-cone-infestinganthomgiids arestrobilomyia melania, S. infrequens andS. laricicola.
