Aiello — Genus Adelpha 
27 
E. larva: scoli of A2 conical, close together, and 
with fewer spines at base; scoli of A3-6 very 
short 
(A. cy there a, salmoneus, pseudo cocala ) 
E. larva: scolus of A2 not conical, similar to other 
scoli except for its swollen base; scoli of A3-6 of 
moderate length; face smoother than other spe- 
cies due to reduction or loss of most chalazae 
(A. iphicla ) 
D. larva: body scoli about same thickness at middle as 
at base; scolus of A2 strongly arched towards the 
posterior, thick and densely spined; face patterned; 
head chalaza-1 dark, and chalazae-3 & 4 pale com- 
pared to rest of face. PUPA: head horns curved or 
recurved to sides F 
F. larva: scoli of T3 and A7 long, slender, and 
tapered to sharp point; scoli of A7 & 8 differ in 
form from each other (that of A8 club-shaped). 
PUPA: head horns sickle-shaped 
(A. basiloides, phliassa ) 
F. larva: body scoli not tapered to sharp point; 
scoli of A7 & 8 similar in form. PUPA: head 
horns like tiny asymmetrical leaves 
(A. cocala, leucophthalma ) 
Group I 
major characteristics: 
(1) Larval body scoli flattened; 
(2) Larva with face striped; 
(3) Larval head chalaza-1 dark (also true of GROUPS VI & 
VII); 
(4) Larvae assume a curled resting position; 
(5) Pupa shimmering silver; 
(6) Valves of male genitalia without clunicula; 
foodplants: Aquifoliaceae, Bombacaceae, Cecropiaceae, Com- 
bretaceae, Melastomataceae, Rubiaceae, Urticaceae. 
Two larval types have been observed within this group: 
A. Final instar larvae with A2 scolus broad, curved posteriorly, 
and with median spines spreading nr. celerio, serpa.
