Abstract;Redescriptions with illustrations and color photographs are presented for the larval, pupal and adult stages of Armigeres (Armigeres) conjungens Edwards, 1914 based on the specimens collected in Ulu Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia. Illustration of the male genitalia is also made based on the holotype of Ar. conjungens preserved in the Natural History Museum, London.
