Acada Evans, 1937

Of the two species of this Afrotropical genus, one from east and one from west of the Rift Valley, TCEC has reared the eastern species, A. biseriata (Mabille) , from Zambia ( Figures 20 and 21 ). We anticipate that the biology of the western species, A. annulifer ( Holland) , will prove to be similar.
