We describe the immature stages and shelter building behavior of Falga jeconia ombra Evans, 1955 from eastern Ecuador. Chusquea scandens (Poaceae, Bambusoidea) is the larval food plant. Larvae in all stadia build shelters and forcibly eject frass with the aid of an anal comb. Later instars possess an eversible prothoracic "neck" gland. Larvae are associated with moving water.
我们描述了来自厄瓜多尔东部的1955年埃文斯命名的暗 Falga jeconia ombra 的未成熟阶段和筑巢行为。藤竹(禾本科,竹亚科)是幼虫的食草植物。各龄期幼虫都筑巢,并借助肛梳强行排出粪便。后期幼虫具有一个可外翻的前胸“颈部”腺体。幼虫与流动的水有关。
