Further Notes on the Food-plants of Nigerian Insects, VI*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  10 July 2009

Extract

The present paper, which is the last of the series, contains additional data obtained between November 1939 and December 1945.

In 1939, Helopeltis bergrothi, Reut., was found feeding on cacao pods and shoots at Owena by the writer; it was evident that this species was distinct from the cotton Helopeltis, which had been identified as bergrothi by the Imperial Institute of Entomology in 1924. The species attacking cotton is H. sanguineus, Popp., and this name should be substituted for bergrothi in the three papers on food-plants published in 1935, 1937 and 1940.
