Osmodes Holland, 1892 View in CoL

This primarily West African genus was reviewed by Miller (1964) and subsequently updated ( Miller 1971), so that 15 species are now recognised ( Ackery et al. 1995, Larsen 2005). There is information on the food plants of four species, all of which feed on Marantaceae ( Table 1 View TABLE 1 ), but no other information has been published on the early stages. Adults occur along forest edges and in shady forest, perch low down, and sunbathe ( Figure 31 View FIGURE 31 ).
