Eggs and pupae of L. dentilinea were photographed to
document color patterns. Posteriorly, they were frozen for 24
hours. Larvae were also photographed and killed in hot water
(ca. 80°C), where they remained until the water cooled. The
immatures were treated with Kahle’s solution (PETERSON 1962)
for 48 to 72 hours (larger specimens needed more time in the
solution; see also DUARTE et al. 2005). Finally, all specimens were
preserved in 70% ethanol. Immatures and adults were deposited
in the Lepidoptera Collection of the Museu de Zoologia da
Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil, except for a male,
which will be deposited in the collection of Dr Vitor O. Becker,
Camacan, Bahia, Brazil.
