The morphology of the third larval stage of Morica hybrida Charpentier, 1825 (Tenebrionidae: Pimeliinae, Akidini) is described and illustrated. The description is based on diagnostic characters of Tenebrionidae classification on head, legs and ninth abdominal segment. The larva of Morica hybrida shows numerous affinities with previously described larvae of Pimeliinae and is clearly included within tribe Akidini. The larva of M. hybrida shows a high similarity with the larva of M. favieri, although they differed by the presence or absence of additional small spines in distal part of ninth abdominal segment, and the shape of the margin of labrum. In addition, similarities with larvae of Akis spp. corroborates the proximity of these two Mediterranean genera of Akidini.
