Species of Hamadryas feed on species of Dalechampia, and D. tryphilla is recorded as host plant of H. fornax and further eight species of the genus (Beccaloni et al., 2008Beccaloni, G.W., Hall, S.K., Viloria, A.L., Robinson, G.S., 2008. Catalogue of the hostplants of the Neotropical butterflies. Mongr. Terc. Milênio. 8, 1-536.). Records of species of Hamadryas feeding on other genera of host plants provided by Beccaloni et al. (2008)Beccaloni, G.W., Hall, S.K., Viloria, A.L., Robinson, G.S., 2008. Catalogue of the hostplants of the Neotropical butterflies. Mongr. Terc. Milênio. 8, 1-536. are unlikely and need confirmation.
