Sumario:Abstract: Maternal care (subsociality): characterization of the different stages of maternal care and its efficiency as a strategy. Maternal care and larval development of Omaspides bistriata Boheman, 1862 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae: Mesomphaliini) are described; including characteristics and manner in which maternal care is given across the different stages of development of the specie (eggs, larvae, pupae and teneral adults). We report the oviposition of eggs, the duration to hatch the eggs, and the duration of larval period, pupal stage, and emergence. A life table and survival curve is presented covering all life stages. Changes in the behavior and feeding habits are also noted for the immatures and the attending mother.
