Abstract

A new larval host plant, Selaginella engleri (Selaginellaceae), is recorded for both Ragadia luzonia negrosensis Yamaguchi & Aoki, 1982 and Acrophtalmia yamashitai yamashitai Uémura & Yamaguchi, 1982 from Negros Island, Philippines. The egg and first larval instar are described and illustrated. Other butterflies using Selaginella spike mosses as larval host plants are also listed and discussed.
