Abstract
The endemic Jade Vine, Strongylodon macrobotrys A. Gray (Fabaceae) is reported for the first time as a larval host plant for the butterfly, Jamides suidas C. & R. Felder [1865] (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) in the Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve. This discovery not only contributes to the missing host plant data of this butterfly but is also the first record of larval feeding on the inflorescence of S. macrobotrys. Meanwhile, adults and larvae of Jamides alecto (C. Felder) were recorded as nectarivore and florivore, respectively, on S. juangonzalezii Hadsall et al.
