Bivar-De-Sousa, António, Vasconcelos, Sasha, Mendes, Luís F., Larsen, Torben B., Baker, Jon & Guilherme, João L., 2016, Butterflies of Guinea-Bissau: VIII. New data, new reports, corrections and biodiversity (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea), Zootaxa 4201 (1), pp. 1-77 : 20-21

*52. Cigaritis larseni Bouyer, 2012 WL: 15mm. Previous references of Spindasis mozambica (Bertolini, 1850) by Larsen (2005) and Cigaritis mozambica (Bertolini, 1850) by Mendes et al. (2008), must be corrected to the present species. S. mozambica is a widespread species occurring throughout tropical Africa (Larsen, 2005); however, it was recently split into two independent species by Bouyer (2012): C. larseni from West Africa, ranging along the forests from Gambia to CAR; and C. mozambica , present in most of Africa south of the Equator, excluding denser forests and deserts. Host-plants are still unknown.
