Microsarotis lygistis
Authors/Creators
Description
Wingspan: 10 mm; adult (plate 15: fig. 76); male genitalia (plate 15: fig. 78); female genitalia (plate 15: fig. 79); pupa (plate 15: fig. 77).
Six specimens ex-larvae: 26-ii-2015, 15-iii-2015, 19-iii-2015, 21-iii-2015 (female, slide RE-1673), 15-iv-2015 (male, slide RE-1779), 28-iv-2015.
Locality: Réunion, La Possession, Ravine à Malheur, alt. 100 m.
Five specimens were deposited with Naturalis, Netherlands in July 2016.
Biology: Hostplant: Bauhina monandra KURZ (Fabaceae). This species was known by a female only, raised from fruits of Bauhinia spec. by J. ETIENNE in 1976.
I bred this species on Bauhina monandra KURZ (Fabaceae), larvae fed on boths: leafs (five specimens) and fruits (one specimen, fig. 77). Notable that all Bauhina species found in La Réunion are introduced. This is certainly not an endemic species of Lepidoptera.
Distribution: La Réunion.
