Bosara minima (Warren, 1897)
Bosara minima
Tribe
Eupitheciini
Ecological interactions
Feeds on
Glochidion ferdinandi
(
Euphorbiaceae
)
Notes
Turner 1904
. The plant species is described as
Phyllanthus ferdinandi
. An Indian larentiine species,
Bosara emarginaria
(Hampson, 1893) is known to feed on
Breynia
sp. (
Euphorbiaceae
) (P. Bell, pers. comm., in:
Holloway 1997
). The species
Bosara minima
was associated with the genera
Chloroclystis
Huebner
and
Gymnoscelis
Mabille. The synonymy with
B. refusaria
Walker needs to be checked (see
Holloway 1997
).
