- *61. Iolaus iasis iasis (Hewitson, 1865) WL: 17mm. The species is recognizable by the sky-blue and black triangular forewings, markedly lobed along their inner margin. The nominate subspecies is known in West Africa from Gambia to southern Nigeria—though it is a faunistic novelty for Guinea-Bissau—and also occurs in Cameroon, Gabon, DRC and Angola. The other known subspecies, I. iasis albomaculatus, is known from Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. The host-plants are Loranthaceae (Larsen, 2005). Studied material.
