Artitropa milleri View in CoL SCC01(Kakamega)

SCC has reared A. milleri from Kakamega Forest, western Kenya on D. fragrans and D. steudneri (which is planted as an exotic ornamental in this part of Kenya. This is the population from Kakamega Forest referred to as A. milleri coryndon in Kühne et al. (2004). It also occurs in the Nandi Hills (ABRI specimens) and appears to be the same as material from Uganda and the Rwenzoris and perhaps further south into western Tanzania and northwestern Zambia.

The early stages were not documented, but MJWC examined preserved final instar head capsules in ABRI and considered them very similar to those of A. m. milleri .
