We provide the first information on the morphology of the immature stages (egg, larva, and pupa), oviposition and larval behavior, and host plant, for the Brazilian crescent butterfly Ortilia liriope (Cramer), based on material from Santarém Municipality, Pará State, Northern Brazil. Females of O. liriope lay eggs in clusters. After hatching, larvae eat the exochorion and remain gregarious in all but the final instar. The host plant recorded in the study site is Justicia sp. (Acanthaceae). Despite the scarcity of data on the immature stages of Neotropical Melitaeini, we can already say that some morphological and behavioral traits observed in the immature stages of O. liriope are also present in all known genera in this tribe.
基于来自巴西北部帕拉州圣塔伦市的材料，我们首次提供了关于巴西新月蝶Ortilia liriope（克莱默）未成熟阶段（卵、幼虫和蛹）的形态、产卵和幼虫行为以及寄主植物的信息。Ortilia liriope的雌性成簇产卵。孵化后，幼虫吃掉卵壳外层，除最后一龄外，其余各龄均保持群居状态。在研究地点记录到的寄主植物是爵床属植物（爵床科）。尽管关于新热带区美眼蛱蝶族未成熟阶段的数据稀少，但我们已经可以说，在Ortilia liriope未成熟阶段观察到的一些形态和行为特征在该族所有已知属中也都存在。
