Aguiar, Tamara M. C., Barbosa, Eduardo P., Zacca, Thamara, Rosa, Augusto H. B., Santos, Jessie P. & Freitas, André V. L., 2025, Immature stages, population ecology and natural history of the genus Carminda Ebert & Dias (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Satyrinae), Revista Brasileira de Entomologia (e 20250024) 69 (3), pp. 1-18 : 15

Carminda surpresa (based on material from Campos do Jordão):

External morphology of early stages was described in Barbosa et al. (2020). Additionally, this paper includes a new plate that facilitates comparison with the morphological characters of the other three species under consideration ( Fig. 10 ). Detailed SEM images ( Fig. 11 ) and head and body chaetotaxy ( Fig. 12 ) are presented for the first time. All data on behavior and natural history are available in Barbosa et al. (2020).
