Abstract

The biology of the New-World snout butterfly genus Libytheana is reviewed. The distribution, habitat, behavior, life history, larval host plant, migration, dispersal, adult diet, predators, parasitoids, and microbiological data for each species are presented. Libytheana carinenta is wide-spread, with a distribution ranging from southern Canada to Argentina. It has multiple annual generations and can be found in various habitats, including deserts, grasslands, and forests. Libytheana carinenta regularly lands on the ground, frequently visits flowers, disperses in very large numbers, and has territorial males. Nothing is known about the immature stages of the three insular species.
