Further life history observations in the myrmecophilous genus <i>Chrysoritis<i> Butler, plus notes on dwarfism in reared specimens

Associated host-ant species and larval host-plants are recorded for Chrysoritis pelion (Pennington, 1953), Chrysoritis irene (Pennington, 1968) and Chrysoritis natalensis (Van Son, 1966). Instances of undersize adults obtained when reared in captivity from eggs, without ant attendance, are recorded and discussed.

Abstract

Associated host-ant species and larval host-plants are recorded for Chrysoritis pelion (Pennington, 1953), Chrysoritis irene (Pennington, 1968) and Chrysoritis natalensis (Van Son, 1966). Instances of undersize adults obtained when reared in captivity from eggs, without ant attendance, are recorded and discussed.
