Description

A. marnois Rog., which I formerly incorrectly regarded as a form of oncaea , is, as Eltringham has discovered, very nearly allied to Acraea caecilia and probably only a form of it. Wings above sand-yellow; at the base narrowly blackish; the black colour does not reach vein 2; at the apex and distal margin narrowly darkened, but much more broadly than in caecilia pudora; basal and discal dots on both wings as in caecilia. Soudan. [4]

Taxonomy

It is a member of the Acraea caecilia species group. See also Pierre & Bernaud, 2014. [5] Junior synonym of Acraea caecilia .
