Key Points

A total of 193 new larval host associations for African lepidoptera are reported, enhancing our understanding of these species.
The report includes illustrations of final instar larvae for 206 taxa, showcasing previously undocumented details.
Research conducted by the Caterpillar Rearing Group provides vital insights into the life stages and ecological interactions of these taxa.
These findings contribute to the broader understanding of biodiversity and species interactions within the Papilionoidea.

Implication

Illustrated report details 193 new larval host associations and 206 final instar larvae in African Lepidoptera, suggesting biodiversity insights.

Abstract

The larvae, adults and host associations of 424 African Lepidoptera taxa belonging to the Papilionoidea are reported. The final instar larva and adult are illustrated for each rearing. We record 193 new larval host associations and illustrate the final instar larvae of 206 taxa for the first time.
