- Abstract
The immature stages of the Small Four-Line Blue Nacaduba pavana georgi (Horsfield, [1828]) are described and illustrated from Mount Talinis, Negros Island, Philippines. Larvae fed on rambutan flowers (Sapindaceae: Nephelium lappaceum L.), a new host plant record, and associated with the ant Philidris myrmecodiae (Emery, 1887). We conclude by discussing the known host plant breadth and ant associates of other species of Nacaduba Moore, 1881.
