Re: Locations in France
1. There is also a forest of "ComeFroide" in Occitanie : https://www.commune-mairie.fr/foret/foret-domaniale-de-comefroide-picaussel-F15391Y/ 2. agree with Manfred 3. When you see a number like "26" in a French label, it must be a French departement. In this case, it is "Drô...

Re: Hesperiidae from French Guyana
Great news. Let us know as the ALF is working on a list of FG butterflies.
We have just published a new list, I will check if other Damas species are listed.

Re: Hesperiidae from French Guyana
And for French Guyana material, I would double-check with Paris MNHN, as they have tons of material from there.

Indeed.
Sekou Touré said : "We prefer poverty in freedom to opulence in slavery"... it seems, they have poverty and economic slavery...
What happens in Mayotte vs Comoro is a sad but meaningful example.

Re: Agrias (hybrids)
Indeed several people see praeneste as an Agrias. It is the only one who makes natural hybrids with Agrias in the wild (« sarumani »).
and of course, there would be several subgenera (or genera depending how you split them). As explained by Willmott

Re: Agrias (hybrids)
John : never heard about subgenus ? ;) All Prepona are not Agrias , but Agrias are Prepona . + there are some clear morphological, behaviour and evolutionnary differences between both subgenera as recognized in the Synonymisation paper. Morphological differences : obvious, that's why they have long ...

Re: Agrias (hybrids)
Yes, these hybrids are now mass-produced in Peruvian farms and now cause some issue to people studying Agrias . - Some "new" taxa are in fact "farmed hybrids" or "farmed forms : a recent example is Agrias hewitsonius elata , Séraphin 2016 : https://agrias-butterflies.com/agr...

Re: Research institutions discarding collections?
I have not in mind any example for "political" reasons.
For "financial" reasons, I am sure most minor museums with no more curator can't preserve well their collection and they have no other choice than discarding the collection, before or after a dermestidae invasion ...

Re: New Agrias website !
As far as I know, no English translation is planned. This said, with the distribution maps and plates being with latin names, the book is very useful even for non-French speakers to understand Agrias distribution and recognize the various forms. You can see some page examples in the InsectNet Market...

Re: Feeding Butterflies
Joachim, Don't use sugar, it can cause problems in the butterfly gut. Mix 10% honey solution and add a tiny amount of salt. I assume you will want to hand feed the butterflies, rather than them flying around in a 'flight cage' or greenhouse. If so, prepare a small container with honey solution soak...
