Biology
Larvae of A. varipes were found on saplings of Spathodea campanulata Beauv. (Scrophulariales: Bignoniaceae) growing in the undergrowth of a forest. This is probably not the host plant because it did not show any feeding damage and the larvae did not feed on this plant in the laboratory (Bito & Smith 2005).
