Abstract

Acraea terpiscore L. is commonly known as the Tawny Coster butterfly, it belongs to the Nymphalidae or Brush-footed butterfly family. Its common larval hosts depend on the availability of Turnera subulata. The study has been carried from January to July 2015 in Thammampatti, Salem district in Tamilnadu. A. terpiscore larvae were found in Turnera subulata and Passiflora foetida. From this observation it is evident that host preference is prevalently exhibited in larval feeding of Tawny Coster. On the availability of T. subulata the choice of P. foetida is found meagre. The caterpillars were counted once a week in both the populations during an observation period of six months. T. subulata and P. foetida plants respectively envisaging its host preference of T. subulata over P. foetida. It is reported here for the first time as a new larval host of Tawny Coster.
茶色松果新寄主植物记录
Acraea terpiscore L.通常被称为茶色蝴蝶,它属于蛱蝶科或刷足蝴蝶科。其常见的幼虫寄主依赖于黄轮虫的可用性。该研究于2015年1月至7月在泰米尔纳德邦塞勒姆地区的Thammampatti进行。在黄兜草和西番莲中均发现了小蠹蛾幼虫。由此可见,黄颡鱼幼虫在取食过程中普遍表现出寄主偏好。在大叶茅的可用性上,发现小叶茅的选择很少。在为期6个月的观察期内,每周对两个种群的幼虫进行一次计数。设想其寄主对扁叶蝉比扁叶蝉的偏好。本文首次报道其为茶树蛾的新幼虫寄主。
