Concerning larval food plant preference in Dicranurini,
most of the species feed on Salicaceae, with some reports also
mentioning the use of Sapindaceae, Rosaceae and Fagaceae
(MILLER 1991). Larvae of L. dentilinea are for the first time found
feeding on the genus Miconia Ruiz & Pav., and it is the second
record of a host plant belonging to Melastomataceae. MILLER
(1991) did not mention this plant family for the Notodontinae,
possibly due to the unexpected placement of Lobeza in the subfamily.
