(Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)

Abstract - Two series of adults of the Genoveva Azure Butterfly Ogyris genoveva genoveva Hewitson (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) were bred from field collected larvae and pupae obtained from two areas in New South Wales, Australia. Data on the general biology, ant associations and parasites of O. g. genoveva are reviewed and where data are available, compared with those of other Ogyris species. Two parasitic wasps emerged and these were tentatively identified as Apanteles sp. (Braconidae) and Brachymeria sp. (Chalcididae).
