The morphological stages of the Kalliapseudes schubarti Mañe-Garzon, 1949 females were easily determinated and they were similar, but the male stages show distint forms probably due to the ambient stimuli. The description of the male stages demonstrate that K. gianucai (Bacescu, 1979) is another male stage of K. schubarti, probably a secondary copulatory stage. The morphology and development of the ovary is related both with the maturity and with the morphological modifications of females stages.
