Larvae of the soft-bodied click-beetle tribe Drilini are obligatory predators of land snails. Larval stages are known only for several species from the West Palaearctic region and two species from the tropical Africa. In this study, for the first time we describe and illustrate the active larva of Drilini from the Oriental realm based on a single specimen from the western India. It is putatively identified as Selasia sp. as this is the only genus of Drilini known from the Indian subcontinent. We compare the Indian larva with other known active larvae of Drilini and add Tanychlamys sp. (Helicarionoidea: Ariophantidae) to the list of prey for the Drilini larvae. We would like to use this opportunity to encourage colleagues to share with us data on Drilini larvae and their prey from India to better understand their predator-prey interactions.
