Artitropa discussion When Riley (1925) revised the continental African species, he did not examine the genitalia, working on wing pattern and to a limited extent on early stages. Evans (1937) seems to have accepted Riley’s conclusions and only added two taxa. For his revision, Evans seems to have dissected only one male of each species, and not dissected the different subspecies of A. erinnys and A. milleri. Thus he dissected a male A. e. erinnys from Zululand (within KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) which is representative of the type locality (Port Natal) and a male A.m. milleri from Katanga, DR...

Evans (1937) seems to have accepted Riley’s conclusions and only added two taxa. For his revision, Evans seems to have dissected only one male of each species, and not dissected the different subspecies of A. erinnys and A. milleri. Thus he dissected a male A. e. erinnys from Zululand (within KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) which is representative of the type locality (Port Natal) and a male A.m. milleri from Katanga, DR Congo, which is not representative of the type locality (Tukuyu, Tanzania). Further genitalia dissections are needed to assess the present classification and the status of the putative taxa recognised here. We suspect that A. milleri may comprise at least two species, milleri and coryndon, but perhaps more, but these have yet to be assessed based on their genitalia (T.B. Larsen in prep.) or by molecular methods. The ... : Published as part of Cock, Matthew J. W., Congdon, T.
