There are some species which evolved neotenic forms, i.e. the individual reaches sexual maturity while remains its larval form. Some salamander species or salamander-related species (axolotls, proteus) are the examples that come to my mind. These larvae are considerably similar to their adult forms, I guess. But some other larvae are, at least at sight, quite different from their adult forms, such as caterpillars and moths or butterflies. So what if evolves a neotenic form of a species in which the larvae are very different from the fully developed organism? Could such speciation allow taxonomists to take the new species to another taxa, such as another genus or even higher?
