Andronymus helles Evans, 1937 View in CoL

This species, the smallest of the group, was described from Cameroon ( Evans 1937) and is found from Sierra Leone to western Tanzania ( Evans 1937, Kielland 1990, Larsen 2005). Vuattoux reared at least one specimen of this species from Anthonotha sp. , but MJWC misidentified Vuattoux’s specimen as Andronymus hero , under which name this food plant record was published ( Vuattoux 1999) – see discussion of food plants under A. hero .
