was found in San Ignacio, Misiones and in several locations nearby. In the field, adults were found in large numbers on shaded plants growing under trees in a completely terrestrial situation. Larvae have not been observed in the field. In the laboratory, egg masses were obtained on moist tissue paper (14.5 ± 5.7 eggs/mass, n=12). Around 85% emergence occurred between 9 and 12 days after oviposition. Eggs are yellow and larvae and pupae are light pink. Larvae fed on alligator weed leaves and pupated in the substrate. Immature stages lasted between 24 and 35 days (28.3 ± 4.3 days, n=23), and the larval survival was 46 % (23/50). Immature duration and biological aspects are similar to its close related species
