PEDRAZA, Luz Dary; ORTIZ-PEREZ, Maira y MONTERO-ABRIL, Fredy. ASPECTS OF Metamorpha elissa elissa (HÜBNER, 1819) LIFE CYCLE IN COLOMBIA (LEPIDOPTERA: NYMPHALIDAE: Kallimini). Bol. Cient. Mus. Hist. Nat. Univ. Caldas [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.1, pp.143-154. ISSN 0123-3068. https://doi.org/10.17151/bccm.2015.20.1.11.
Some aspects of the biology and life cycle of Metamorpha elissa elissa are presented for the first time based on the study of the different preimaginal instars. The species usesTrichanthera gigantea (Acanthaceae) as host plant for its larvae. From three eggs obtained at the moment they were ovipositedit was possible to obtain the complete life cycle under lab controlled conditions after 37 days. A brief comparison of the life cycle times with the Siproeta epaphus Latreille and Siproeta stelenesLinnaeus species, for being the closest phylogenetically is made.
