- *156. Catacroptera cloanthe ligata Rothschild & Jordan, 1903 WL: 29mm. This species is known from Guinea savanna, though it may also fly in degraded habitats and often occurs close to flooded areas; the present subspecies ranges from Senegal to Cameroon, therefore, its occurrence and that of genus Catacroptera in Guinea-Bissau, though not previously reported, were foreseeable. The nominate subspecies flies along the remaining Afrotropical Region. The caterpillars feed chiefly on species of Asystasia, Barleria, Justicia, Phaulopsis and Ruellia (Acanthaceae), as well as on Gomphocarpus sp. (Asclepiadaceae). Studied material. Cacheu: Banhinda (PNTC), 25.06.2009, 1♀ (BS 29079); Caió, several dry season specimens (JB). Probable abundance and proposed status. AB: R; CS: I.
