Treatment

Pelopidas thrax View in CoL (Hübner, [1821])

Cock (2010a) and Cock & Congdon (2012) considered many food plant records of P. thrax to be unreliable. Otto et al.’s (2013) rearing from Panicum maximum (Poaceae) in the Kruger National Park area, South Africa, is a further reliable grass food plant record for this species.
