Amydria selvae, new species, was found on Heteromys desmarestianus Gray in the rainforest at Finca La Selva and Ptilopsaltis santarosae, new species, occurred on Liomys salvini (Thomas) in the dry forest at Santa Rosa National Park. Only female moths were observed and collected. Biological observations on both moths and their hosts in phoresy are summarized. |
