Pyrrhiades aeschylus (Plötz, 1884)

César et al. (2010) illustrate the caterpillar in dorsal view on Acridocarpus chevalieri (Malpighiaceae) from riverine gallery forest, Burkino Faso. Jérémy Bouyer, who took that image, shared this and additional images (Figure 1). It can be seen that the final instar caterpillar rests in a simple leaf roll shelter, with its head visible at the basal end (Figure 1.1) and the posterior segments visible at the distal end (Figure 1.2). Comparing the images with the description by Fleury (1926) (repeated in Cock 2010b), there is a close match, except that Fleury did not mention that the head is orange-red, with a row of four black spots across the upper face and another spot covering the stemmata.
