Eggs are translucent and the developing larvae can be seen through the egg shells.
Like all the Ceratocampinae, the larvae are well-endowed with long thoracic "horns" which tend to diminish relative to body size as the larvae progress through successive moults.
Mature larvae descend trees to pupate in subterranean chambers.
These moths fly in South America.
