Cissia eous, the brown satyr, is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1867.[1] It is found in the countries of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.[1]
Biology and phenology[edit]
In the moist and shady habitats of several vegetal formations, like secondary forests and coastal forest edges in Brazil, you'll frequently find adults of this species.[1] They're attracted to fermented fruits and other decaying materials.[2]
Larvae of this species can feed on Poa plants.[3] Specifically in Poa annua,[4] Digitaria sanguinalis and Stenotaphrum secundatum.[2][5]
