Josia radians
James S. Miller and Andrew V. Z. Brower
Introduction
Miller (2009) suggests that Josia radians and J. ligata may be the same species, the former occurring in northeastern Colombia and western Venezuela, and the latter more widespread in Amazonian Colombia and Ecuador. Larvae have been reared on Passiflora (Decaloba) capsularis, P. rubra, P. cuneata and P. (Granadillastrum) manicata.References
