Eudicella (Eudicella) daphnis daphnis (Buquet, 1835)

Distribution: BEN, BFO, CAM, GAM, GBI, GUI, RCA?, RCI, SEN?.

Distribution in Guinea-Bissau (Administrative Regions): 1) BFA.

Historic records:

— Bambadinca (BAF) ( Brivio 1958 sub Eudicella gralli Buquet schultzeorum Kolbe);

— Bambadinka (=Bambadinca) (BAF) ( De Palma 2009).

Material examined: none.

Remarks. The species presents a wide distribution throughout West Africa ( De Palma 2009; Le Gall 2015; Schoolmeesters 2019). It was recorded for GBI based on the same singleton from Bambadinca locality ( Brivio 1958; De Palma 2009). The description of the larvae was provided by Lumaret (1985). The biology and ecology of this species are presumably similar to other Eudicella species (see Holm & Marais 1992).
