Description:
The first full review of this genus for over three quarters of a century, the last having been undertaken by Talbot in 1944. Since then our knowledge of the Afrotropical butterfly fauna has greatly increased. A number of new species have been described ad hoc, but at the same time it has become ever clearer the systematics of the genus were confused and that a new look was required. This work takes that new look, using all the resources available to us today, including through extensive, multi-gene, molecular analysis and a reassessment of the phylogeny and evolution of the genus (Warren-Gash et al., 2020). Cryptic species are identified and compared, some of them for the first time. Adults of all 105 species, including those described for the first time, are described and illustrated in colour, along with the male genitalia, and some examples of the early stages.
