Abstract: There is a great number of Charaxinae (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) species in the tropics whose larvae feed on several plant families. However the genus Anaea is almost always associated with Croton species (Euphorbiaceae). This work describes patterns of host plant use by immature and adult abundance on different vertical strata of sympatric Anaea species in a forest of Southeastern Brazil. Quantitative samples of leaves were taken in April/1999 and May/2000 to collect eggs and larvae of four Anaea species on C… Show more

“…The subfamily is well known taxonomically, although its phylogeny remains poorly known (Wahlberg et al 2003). Many Charaxinae adults prefer the canopy rather than the forest undergrowth, but all can be attracted to carrion and fermented fruit (Queiroz 2002;Mielke et al 2004).…”

“…Finally, when the caterpillar is ready to pupate, it leaves the leaf shelter and attaches to a substrate to complete the metamorphosis and become an adult (Queiroz 2002). The climate is seasonal; the driest periods range from June to September and the wet season occurs between December and March.…”

“…Detailed descriptions of immature stages are most likely relevant for species delimitation because they are important sources of information for Lepidoptera systematics (Freitas & Brown ). However, data on the immature stages of Memphis are still scarce, with only some information available for less than 30% of its species (Müller ; Muyshondt , , , ; Young ; DeVries ; Caldas ; Igarashi & Fukuda ; Constantino , Queiroz , Teshirogi, 2005, Finegan , Beccaloni et al . , Contreras & Contreras , Dias et al .…”
