Osmodes Holland, 1892

This primarily West African genus was reviewed by Miller (1964) and subsequently updated (Miller 1971), so that 15 species are now recognised (Ackery et al. 1995, Larsen 2005). There is information on the food plants of four species, all of which feed on Marantaceae (Table 1), but no other information has been published on the early stages. Adults occur along forest edges and in shady forest, perch low down, and sunbathe (Figure 31).
