Abstract:
The life history and early stages of the satyrine butterfly Manataria maculata are described and illustrated
from Costa Rica. Eggs are laid on Lasiacis sp. (Panicoideae), a new non-bamboo host plant for the genus
Manataria. The larval stage varied from 23 to 28 days, and the pupal duration was approximately 12 days when
reared on Bambusa vulgaris and Guadua angustifolia in captivity at 23-24°C.
