Larval polyphagy of Cataspilates marceloi (Lepidoptera, Geometridae), a Neotropical geometrid moth with flightless females

Surveys in the arid shrubland of the central Andes revealed larval polyphagy for Cataspilates marceloi Vargas, 2022 (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Ennominae, Boarmiini), a geometrid moth with flightless females. This discovery suggests that, as well as in the Holarctic fauna, larval polyphagy would have been important for the evolution of flight-lessness among Neotropical geometrid moths of the tribe Boarmiini.
