Pelopidas mathias (Fabricius, 1798) View in CoL

TCEC reared Pelopidas mathias from Panicum maximum (referred to as Megathyrsus maximus in Cock & Congdon (2012)) (Poaceae) at Ranomafana, Madagascar, in March 2013. The caterpillar and pupa are within the range of individual variation already reported from this and other grass food plants in mainland Africa ( Cock & Congdon 2012) and so are not documented further here.
