Notes on the Life History of Catoblepia berecynthia berecynthia (Cramer) (Lepidoptera: Brassolidae)

Abstract

The larva and pupa of Catoblepia b. berecynthia (Cramer) are figured, the latter for the first time. Significant differences between the larva and pupa and those known in the genus Opsiphanes are discussed, as further possible diagnostic features to separate the genera. A method of obtaining ova in captivity is also discussed.
