Caenides Holland, 1896 Caenides, as currently defined, contains species which feed as caterpillars on Arecaceae, Zingiberaceae, Costaceae and Colchicaceae (some lilies). The palm-feeder C. dacela is treated here, whereas C. dacena (Hewitson) has been reared from Costus, Costaceae (Vuattoux 1999, Vande weghe 2010, MJWC unpublished observations), and will be treated in a subsequent part of this series. Furthermore, we note, and will document in this future part, that the early stages of these two species are sufficiently different to indicate that they are not congeneric. T.B. Larsen (pers. comm. 2014) advises that he expects to move C. dacena to a genus of its own, close to Hypoleucis and Semalea, based on the structure of the male genitalia. Other workers provide additional insight: C. kangvensis Holland has been reared from the lily Gloriosa superba (Colchicaceae, formerly Liliaceae) and Thalia welwitschii (Marantaceae), but the early stages were not documented (Vuattoux 1999, repeated in Vande weghe 2010). ... : Published as part of Cock, Matthew J.
