Larvae of Copestylum tigrinum Ricarte Hancock in Ricarte et al. 2015 were reared from fallen fruits of Casearia combaymensis Tul. (Salicaceae) collected in the Brazilian Amazon (Amazonas, Brazil). This is the first record of this species in mainland South America and Brazil, and the first record of a fruit of Salicaceae as a food substrate for the larvae of C. tigrinum. The female and its genitalia are described for the first time, the puparium is redescribed and some aspects of the biology of Copestylum are discussed.
Ricarte et al. 2015 年描述的 Copestylum tigrinum Ricarte Hancock 的幼虫是从巴西亚马逊地区（亚马逊州，巴西）收集的 Casearia combaymensis Tul.（杨柳科）落果中饲养的。这是该物种在南美大陆和巴西的首次记录，也是杨柳科果实作为 C. tigrinum 幼虫食物基质的首次记录。首次描述了该种的雌性及其生殖器，重新描述了蛹，并讨论了 Copestylum 的一些生物学特性。
