This paper describes the morphology and behavior of the immature stages of Oleria baizana (Haensch) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) from northeastern Ecuador. Brugmansia aurea Lagerh. (Solanales: Solanaceae) is the larval food plant. Eggs are laid singly, off of the host plant in the leaf litter. During the night, larvae climb a food plant seedling and sever a leaf petiole, parachuting with the leaf to the ground where they remain while feeding. Oleria baizana has five larval stadia, and individuals take 77 days to mature from oviposition to adult stage.
本文描述了来自厄瓜多尔东北部的 Oleria baizana (Haensch)（鳞翅目：蛱蝶科）的未成熟阶段的形态和行为。布鲁格曼氏黄花茄 (Lagerh.)（茄目：茄科）是幼虫的食物植物。卵单独产在离宿主植物不远的落叶层中。夜间，幼虫爬上食物植物幼苗并切断一片叶柄，带着叶子跳伞到地面，在那里它们在进食的同时保持静止。Oleria baizana 有五个幼虫龄期，从卵到成虫阶段成熟需要 77 天。
