Baccharis alnifolia Meyen & Walp. (Asteraceae) was the only host plant previously known for A. jobimi ( Vargas 2020 ). Accordingly, rearing from S. philippiana adds a new host plant record and suggests that this plume moth is able to use distantly-related members of Asteraceae. As this plant family is well represented in the study area ( Moreira-Munoz et al. 2016 ), further surveys would be needed to know the complete host plant range of A. jobimi .
