VARGAS, Héctor A.  and  PARRA, Luis E.. Immature stages of Iridopsis parrai (Lepidoptera: Geometridae). Rev. Colomb. Entomol. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.1, pp.105-112. ISSN 0120-0488.

Egg, larva and pupa of Iridopsis parrai (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) are described and illustrated. The number of micropylar openings and micropylar cells in the egg varied. The external morphology of the first instar larva is described for the first time for the genus Iridopsis. Two forms were detected in the third, fourth and fifth larval instars. Results are discussed in relation to previous studies.

Keywords : Boarmiini; Morphology; Neotropical.
