Remarks. The species is widespread throughout West and Central Africa ( Antoine 2005b; Schoolmeesters 2019). Biogeographic remarks on this species complex were provided by Antoine (2005b) and Le Gall et al. (2010). Jerath & Unny (1965) gave a very scanty description of C. quadrimaculatus larvae. All the GBI specimens were sampled by LT ( Fig. 2c ) in different habitat types (e.g. open secondary forest, primary moist forest). It is a new species record for CAC, OIO and TOB Administrative Regions of Guinea-Bissau.
