These are relatively large skippers which inhabit dense forests, mostly evergreen, and have dicotyledonous host-plants.
The larvae are polyphagous, but prefer small-leaved, hard-leaved gymnosperms and dicotyledonous angiosperms.
The adults primarily feed on deciduous trees, while larvae prefer herbaceous plants (dicotyledonous).
There are about 75 species in the genus, mostly specific to genera or families of herbaceous dicotyledonous plants.
A total of 358 dicotyledonous stems were counted in 240 m2 of which 244 (57%) were seedlings representing only one third the number of seedlings counted in the crabless zone.
Endo-b-mannanase has been investigated extensively in relation to seed germination of some dicotyledonous species.
However, for the dicotyledonous species slightly stronger solutions were required (10-20%).
However, the involvement of peptide transport in germination of dicotyledonous seeds remains to be established.
