Belenois (Anaphaeis) creona subsp. creona Cramer 1776
Description
*24. Belenois (Anaphaeis) creona creona (Cramer, 1776)
WL: 27mm. This species flies in dry savanna and cultivated fields, as well as in degraded forests, especially during the dry season. It is similar to B. aurota, but has a black spot rather than a bar in the cell of the forewing recto, and less darkened veins on the verso. The species is new for Guinea-Bissau and was formerly known to occur from Senegal to Nigeria, Niger, Sudan and western Ethiopia. The caterpillars feed on several Capparaceae and on Cleome sp. (Cleomaceae).
Studied material. Cacheu: Caió, not frequent, observed in October (JB).
Probable abundance and proposed status. AB: NF; CS: LC.
