Abstract

New larval food plants and biological data are recorded for several pierid and lycaenid butterflies from eastern Australia. Among the Pieridae, Capparis lucida (Capparaceae), naturalised Cakile maritima (Brassicaceae) and Lysiana spathulata (Loranthaceae) are recorded for Elodina queenslandica kuranda De Baar & Hancock, Pieris rapae (Linnaeus) and Delias argenthona (Fabricius), respectively. Among the Lycaenidae, Acacia acinacea (Fabaceae) is recorded for the first time for Jalmenus evagoras (Donovan), the ant Dolichoderus scrobiculatus (Mayr) (Dolichoderinae) is newly recorded attending the larva of Nesolycaena medicea Braby and oviposition on Dipodium variegatum (Orchidaceae) by Zizina otis (Fabricius) is noted.
