Observations and comments

All individuals of this notodontid species were found on a single vine in a single gap in primary forest. On one branch of this vine three individuals, a neonate, a mid instar and a late instar were found, as if the same adult (or different adults) had returned to lay eggs on the plant 3 different times.
