Estadios inmaduros e historia natural de la mariposa de los Andes Altinote trinacria cf. unicolor (Nymphalidae: Heliconiinae: Acraeini)

ABSTRACT: - The immature stages (eggs, larvae and pupae), oviposition and larval behavior of Altinote trinacria cf. unicolor (Talbot, 1932), are described here for the first time. Eggs were laid in groups on the undersides of leaves. Larvae were reared from egg clutches collected from the host plant Oligactes volubilis (Kunth) Cass (Asteraceae). The number of instars varied from eight to nine within the same egg clutch, and the corresponding development time from the first instar larva to adult varied from 108 to 115 days. Larvae were gregarious except in the last and penultimate instar. Larvae showed similar morphology and behavior to those previously described for Altinote ozomene (Godart, 1819) from the northern Andes and various species of Actinote Hübner, 1819 from southeastern Brazil and the Andes.
