New and revised descriptions of the immature stages of some butterflies in Sri Lanka and their larval food plants (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). Part 1: Sub-family Danainae

The immature stages of the 12 species of butterflies of the subfamily Danainae and their larval food plants in Sri Lanka are presented. The immature stages of six species and their larval food plants are documented for the first time. The immature stages of the remaining six species that have been previously described from Sri Lankan material are compared to findings of the current study and additional observations are presented. For these six species, new larval food plants are reported for the first time. For two of these species, larval food plants previously reported in Sri Lanka are confirmed. This study provides the basic information for further studies on the biology of these species. It also provides information for conservation management programs for butterflies in Sri Lanka.
