摘　　要：Immature stages of Lymanopoda caracara Pyrcz,Willmott&Hall,an endemic butterfly from the paramo life zone in the Andes of Ecuador,are described and compared with those of L.schmidti Adams from Colombia.Larval morphology is illustrated for four instars.Drawings of head chaetotaxy and setal maps are provided for the first time for the genus.The host plant is identified as a dwarf bamboo Chusquea villosa(Clark)(Poaceae).Striking individual variation among adults of L.caracara is discussed.Immature stages of Lymanopoda caracara Pyrcz, Willmott & Hall, an endemic butterfly from the paramo life zone in the Andes of Ecuador, are described and compared with those of L. schmidti Adams from Colombia.
