(4) Valves of male genitalia armed with apical row of teeth 
which extend to outside of valve; 
foodplants: Antirrhoea, Alseis, Bathysa, Calycophyllum, Gon- 
zalea, Isertia, Rondeletia, Uncar ia (Rubiaceae). 
iphicla, Panama (Aiello) 
The color of iphicla larvae varies from dark grey, through 
golden brown, and red-brown, to almost black, regardless of the 
foodplant eaten. The head is always smooth (by Adelpha 
standards) and also varies, from yellow-brown with black 
punctations to uniform dark brown or black. Final instar larvae 
show the most pattern (especially light-colored individuals): 
dark, oblique lateral stripes on A2-5, which terminate part way 
up the bases of the scoli, and often but not always, white lateral 
marks on A2, 7 & 8. 
The pupa varies from waxy white to straw-color or pale 
brown, and often is partly or entirely burnished gold or silver, 
especially on dorsal T1 & 3, and Al. Almost always there is a 
small silver diamond located on the base of each mesothoracic 
leg. 
iphicla, Brasil (Moss, 1933) 
Moss described iphicla larvae as “very similar to cytherea, the 
two species evidently being closely related, as is also shown by the 
pupae.” 
groups IV and V may be related; the “cat-eared” pupae, and 
oblique-striped larvae of both, seem to hint at that. As well, both 
groups of larvae display varying degrees of reduction of head 
chalaze, and swelling of certain scoli bases. However, the 
genitalia of the two groups are different, and, in iphicla the scoli 
on A3-6 are longer and the face smoother than in Group IV. And 
so, for the moment they will be kept separate, but near to each 
other. 
Group VI & VII 
major characteristics: 
(1) Larva with scolus of A2 arched towards the posterior, 
thick, and densely spined; 
(2) Larval face patterned; 
(3) Larval head chalza-1 dark (also true of GROUP I);
