Papilio dardanus flavicornis females with Amauris septentrinonalis which they mimic from Mount Kulal. They were in excellent condition until the guy who sent them pinned a round orange moth ball in with them,which came loose. The moth ball got jammed under a female before it reduced them all to pieces Attachments:

The guy is going back there in August so there is a chance. To my knowledge this is the only form of this ssp form ochracea,could be wrong though I have attached a pic of a male figinii(sorry don't have the female) Attachments:

Did you get ssp. figinii from Eritrea? I think there are 3 female forms of ssp. flavicornis known.... John  |

The figinii came from Eritrea, Northern Ethiopea.I think it is now a country in its own right.
The only things i have from Mount Marsabit are a few acrea.

Hi Colin
I just give the name of your Amauris is Amauris echeria septentrionis. Is not specise is subspecise.

Some list it as a subspecies of echeria,others consider it a species in its own right.
It is really down to what you believe yourself when the experts can't agree.
At the end of the day it is only a bug,no point in losing sleep over it.
