Artitropa Holland, 1896 This genus is restricted to the Afrotropical Region, including the Comoro Islands and Madagascar. It was established by Holland (1896) with erinnys Trimen as type species. Riley (1925) and Evans (1937) both revised the genus, and by the time Ackery et al. (1995) published Carcasson’s catalogue, eight species were recognised, three from Madagascar and five from mainland Africa. Further species have since been described from the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania and from São Tomé and Principe. In view of subsequent observations and collections by ABRI, the genus is overdue for a further revision, for which the life history information reported here should be useful. Riley (1925) commented on the ‘preponderance’ of females in his material. Of the 86 A. comus (Stoll) and A. erinnys Trimen he examined, there were 52 females and 34 males. Reared material of A. milleri Riley at ABRI suggests if anything a preponderance of males. It is likely that the caterpillars and pupae of females are ... : Published as part of Cock, Matthew J.
