Remarks.
The species is distributed throughout West Africa (
Antoine 1997b
;
Schoolmeesters 2019
). Like other representatives of
Valgini
, which are flower visitors, the Cantanha adult specimen was captured on a yellow flower of an herbaceous plant (not identified). Biological and ecological data are not available for this species. The reference to
Guinea-Bissau
in the Catalog of Life for this species is an error (Schoolmeesters, personal communication). It is a new genus/species record for
Guinea-Bissau
.
