The larvae feed on several species in the plant genus Ocotea (including Ocotea veraguensis, Ocotea atirrensis, Ocotea sarah and Ocotea dendrodaphne).
Genus Cinnamomum is not native to South America; the trees found by Pineda were presumably of genus Ocotea (Dalby 2001 pp. 45-46).
Stinkwood can refer to several unrelated trees that have bad-smelling wood.
Of the general plants they eat, the most common types are Canarium (Burseracea), Cryptocarya, Ocotea, Ravensara (Lauraceae), Ficus (Moraceae), Eugenia/Syzygium (Myrtaceae), and Grewia (Tiliaceae).
