Caenides dacena Hewitson 1876 articles

Comprehensive Description

provided by Memoirs of the American Entomological Society

[Caenides dacena (Hewitson)]
Hesperia dacena Hewitson, 1876: 453 (Gabon).
= Hesperia corduba Hewitson, 1876: 454 (Gabon).
= Proteides leucopogon Mabille, 1891: 111 (Cameroon).
=Proteides massiva Mabille and Vuillot, 1891 [1890-1893]: 21 (Sierra Leone).
Picard's (1950: 627) erroneous citation of dacena was the result of a typographic error in quoting Evans' (1937: 158) record of dacela. So far unrecorded from Liberia, dacena is to be expected from there since Evans (1937: 159) lists specimens from Sierra Leone and Ghana, and Berger (1962: 459) records it from Ivory Coast. The series of dacena in Carnegie Museum contains specimens from Cameroon, Rio Muni, Gabon and Uganda.
