Description
Paramorbia Powell and Lambert, 1986
Paramorbia includes five described species from Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia; in addition, there are several undescribed species in collections worldwide. Janzen and Hallwachs (2009) provide host plant data for two undescribed species from Costa Rica. They have reared about 127 specimens of Paramorbia, and with the exception of single records from Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Melastomataceae, and Sapotaceae, the remaining (i.e., 97%) are from fern families (Brown 2019b).
Paramorbia hermosa (Razowski and Wojtusiak, 2010) was described from a series of specimens from Yanayacu, all of which were reared from ferns: Evodianthus funifer (Cyclanthaceae) (n = 1), Diplazium costale var robustum (Athyriaceae) (n = 2), an undetermined species of Athyriaceae (n = 1), and an undetermined plant species (n = 1). This species was described in the genus Sparganothina and subsequently transferred to Paramorbia by Brown (2019b) based on morphology, hosts, and MT-COI gene sequences.
