Declana griseata was first described and illustrated by George Vernon Hudson in 1898.[1] Hudson further discussed and illustrated the species both in his 1928 and 1939 publications.[2][3] The lectotype specimen is held at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.[4]
Description
Hudson gave a description and illustration of the larvae of this species in his 1939 publication.[3] In appearance the larvae are extremely variable but it is able to mimic the appearance of a twig on its host plant.[3]
The pupa are enclosed in a cocoon made of moss and plant detritus and can be found on the ground.[3]
