There are three sub-Saharan species of this genus: pumilio (Hoffmannsegg) (the type species), niso (Linnaeus) and hottentota , and a fourth species, nostrodamus (Fabricius) is found from the Mediterranean to north-west India ( Evans 1937a, 1949). They seem to be grass feeders, apart from an anomalous record from Rubiaceae for G. hottentota discussed below. The ova, caterpillars and pupae resemble those of Pelopidas and Borbo spp.
