Remarks

Strong indications of maternal care in Proseicela bicruciata (Fig. 3d) were gathered by G.D. while walking trails in the montane cloud forest of the Yanayacu Biological Station and Center for Creative Studies, Napo Province, Ecuador (2150 m elevation, 0°36.27'S, 77°53.25'W) during the first week of July 2011. A total of five females were found, each tending small groups of uniform larvae (Fig. 3e), on the undersides of large leaves of Solanum abitaguense S. Knapp growing in streamside habitats (Fig. 3f). The group containing the smallest larvae was composed of nine individuals, while groups with larger larvae contained five and six individuals. The group with five larvae had two individuals separated on leaves 20–30 cm in different directions from the central three larvae arranged in a small rosette with heads to the inside and the mother to the side.
