Artitropa sp. SCC01 and SCC02 ABRI collectors found and reared a population of this undescribed species in the Montagne d’Ambre, northern Madagascar, and have referred to it in unpublished reports as A. alaotrana Oberthür or close. It is not A. alaotrana, and indeed appears to be closer to A. hollandi Oberthür, and will be described as new by D.C. Lees (pers. comm.). For the moment we refer to it as Artitropa sp. SCC01, based on the convention described by Janzen et al. (2009). Further similar material was collected at Anjozorobe, in central Madagascar about 100km north of Antananarivo, which may well represent an additional species or subspecies, and we refer to this here as Artitropa sp. SCC02. Life history. At Montagne d’Ambre, the food plant of Artitropa sp. SCC01 was an unidentified Dracaena sp. resembling the mainland D. mannii, presumably Clade A of Buerki et al. (2009). Caterpillars were found on small plants on the edges of open spaces. The newly-laid ovum (Figure 8.1–2) is salmon in colour and ... : Published as part of Cock, Matthew J. W., Congdon, T.
