On the Utilisation of an Indigenous African Silk-worm (Anaphe Infracta, Wlsm.) in Uganda
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Extract
The silkworms which are found in the largest quantities in Uganda belong to the genus Anaphe (family EUPTEROTIDAE), of which we have three species, Anaphe infracta, Wlsm., A. venata, Butl., and A. moloneyi, Druce. The other species of silkworms which have so far been observed in the Protectorate are Mimopacha gerstaeckeri, Dew., and Hypsoides milleti, de Juan, but these are comparatively rare. This paper deals only with Anaphe infracta.
