DISTRIBUTION:
Adeloneivaia kawiana
(approximate wingspan: males: 82mm; females: 100mm) flies in
French Guiana: Kaw;
Suriname: Brokopondo District: Brownsberg National Park.
The species name, kawiana, is indicative of a specimen type locale in Kaw, French Guiana.
FLIGHT TIMES AND PREFERRED FOOD PLANTS:
Adeloneivaia kawiana fly in July in Brokopondo district, Suriname (JvB).
There are probably additional flight months.

ECLOSION, SCENTING AND MATING:
Adult Adeloneivaia
kawiana moths emerge from pupae, and males are smaller
than females.
Mating probably begins shortly after dusk with a likely calling period from
10:30 pm. to 1:00 am.
EGGS, LARVAE AND PUPAE:
Night-flying females lay
translucent eggs on host plant leaves.
Larvae pupate underground in small chambers.
Care of larvae and pupae should be as for
any Neotropical species.
It is hoped that this alphabetical listing followed by the common
name of the foodplant will prove useful. The list is not exhaustive.
Experimenting with closely related foodplants is worthwhile.
