چکیده
We describe the immature stages Pedaliodes poesia Hewitson, 1862 from northeastern Ecuador. Chusquea scandens (Poaceae, Bambusoidea) is the larval food plant. Eggs are laid singly or in pairs on the bottom side of host plant leaves. The duration of the egg, larval, and pupal stages, combined, is 99-107 days.

A systematic revision of the Pedaliodes praxia group is presented. It consists of three closely related species occurring in the uppermost cloud forests of the northern Andes in Colombia and Ecuador. Two new taxa, Pedaliodes puciula n. sp. and P. praxia buckleyi n. ssp., are described. Geographic distribution patterns are overviewed. Main ecological traits are discussed.

متن کاملThe Life History and Shelter Building Behavior of Vettius Coryna Coryna Hewitson, 1866 in Eastern Ecuador (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Hesperiinae)
Abstract We describe all life-stages of Vettius coryna coryna Hewitson, 1866 in eastern Ecuador. The details of larval shelter structure and associated shelter building behavior are described and illustrated, as observed on two grass species (Poaceae). We provide brief observations on V. coryna adult behavior and a review of known life history information for other species of Vettius Godman, 1901.

Here we describe the immature stages and ecological associations of Antirrhea adoptiva porphyrosticta Watkins, 1928 (Lepidoptera:Nymphalidae:Morphinae). The cloud forest bamboo, Chusquea scandens Kunth (Bambusoidea: Poaceae), serves as the larval food plant for this butterfly in eastern Ecuador, the first hostplant record for Antirrhea outside the family Arecaceae. The larvae of A. adoptiva por...
متن کاملSystematics, zoogeography and bionomics of high Andean pedaliodines, Part 3: Revisional notes on the generic status and a new subspecies of Pedaliodes puma (THIEME) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae)
The generic status of Pedaliodes puma Thieme (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae), recently transferred to Panyapedaliodes FORSTER, is discussed and reinstated. The splitting of Pedaliodes by FORSTER (1964) into several smaller genera based solely on adult morphology, the male genitalia and wing underside colour pattern in particular, is considered as not sufficiently justified. A new subspecies, P. puma e...
