*14. Eurema (Terias) floricola leonis (Butler, 1886)

WL: 19mm. This species has not been previously reported for Guinea-Bissau, most likely because it is very similar to and less common than E. hecabe . It can be distinguished by the softer inner profile of the black marginal band on the forewing recto, especially along the first cubital. The present subspecies occurs mainly in Guinea savanna and degraded forest and extends from Guinea-Bissau to Nigeria, DRC, Burundi, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia; three further subspecies are known from the Madagascan Region: Madagascar, Aldabra , Comoro Islands and Mauritius. The caterpillars feed on several Fabaceae .
