contents Pteroteinon concaenira Belcastro & Larsen, 1996 This species was described from Ghana (Belcastro & Larsen 1996) and is found from there, Côte d'Ivoire, and Nigeria to western Uganda, north-western Tanzania and Zambia (Larsen 2005). Pteroteinon concaenira is distinguished from P. ceucaenira and P. caenira by the presence of a white forewing band in the female, the other species having white spots. The male of nominate P. concaenira has a narrower forewing band than P. caenira. The Zambian material (Figure 46) appears to represent an undescribed subspecies, having a much wider male forewing band than other populations. In Tanzania it is found in Kikuru and Munene forests, Kagera Region. Food plants.
