Authors/Creators

Description

Tagiades insularis grandis Evans, 1937

I. Bampton reared this subspecies from a pupa collected on Dioscorea sp., Grande Comoro Island, 10 Jan 2010.

The emerged pupa is similar to that of T. i. insularis (Figure 12), but the white markings on the wings are less developed in this individual.
