The two specimens of this species were reared from caterpillars in the Euteliidae , Paectes lunodes feeding on very young leaves of Ocotea veraguensis ( Lauraceae ) and Paectes fuscescens feeding on young leaves of the introduced species Anacardium occidentale ( Anacardiaceae ). Host caterpillars were collected in November and July. Figure 6. Lateral image of Zelomorpha donwindsori holotype female. Type material.

Paratype: DHJPAR0052679 (ASHYM2033-13). Etymology.
