species: massajae Gestro 1881
remark: together with sp.abyssinica and sp.werneri create complex of very related and morphologically similiar species
wild habitat: Acacia woodland species
origin: Ethiopia, near Asbe Teferi, V/2008, ex larvae
wild imago size: 24-28 mm
breeding difficulty: very easy for larval and cocoon stage, but according to my only attempt impossible to make imago oviposit

   

species: werneri Gestro 1881
remark: together with sp.abyssinica and sp.massajae create complex of very related and morphologically similiar species
wild habitat: Acacia woodland species
origin: Ethiopia, near Arba Minch, 5/2008, leg. Petr Malec ex larvae
wild imago size: 24-28 mm
breeding difficulty: very easy for larval and cocoon stage, in my breeding impossible to make adults oviposit

wild habitat: Acacia thorny shrubs
