We report here the immature stages and natural host plants for three species in the so-called "Taygetis clade" of the nymphalid butterfly subtribe Euptychiina, Taygetis echo (Cramer, 1775), Taygetis sosis Hopffer, 1874, and Pseudodebis valentina (Cramer, 1779). The study was carried out at Finca Las Piedras in Madre de Dios department, Peru. Taygetis echo was observed utilizing a species of herbaceous bamboo, Olyra latifolia L. (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Olyreae), T. sosis was found feeding on another species of herbaceous bamboo, Pariana lunata Nees (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Olyreae), and P. valentina was found utilizing a species of woody bamboo, Guadua weberbaueri Pilg. (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Bambuseae). We describe and provide photos of the immatures and host plants, as well as illustrations of the head capsules for each of these three species.
我们在此报告蛱蝶亚科Euptychiina中所谓“Taygetis进化枝”的三个物种的未成熟阶段和天然寄主植物，即Taygetis echo（克莱默，1775年）、Taygetis sosis霍普费尔，1874年和Pseudodebis valentina（克莱默，1779年）。该研究在秘鲁马德雷德迪奥斯省的拉斯彼德拉斯庄园进行。观察到Taygetis echo取食一种草本竹类植物，即阔叶奥利亚竹（禾本科：竹亚科：奥利亚竹族），发现T. sosis以另一种草本竹类植物，即新月帕里竹（禾本科：竹亚科：奥利亚竹族）为食，还发现P. valentina取食一种木本竹类植物，即韦氏瓜多竹（禾本科：竹亚科：竹族）。我们描述并提供了这三个物种未成熟阶段和寄主植物的照片，以及每个物种头部胶囊的图示。
