Iolaus timon orientius Hulstaert, 1924 View in CoL

The species appears on the previous list ( Baron et al., 2017) as it was recently found in the nearby Mitala Maria Forest , which used to be part of the same Mpigi forest complex. These few remaining forest patches are now completely isolated, with Mpanga being the most intact. The presence of I. timon orientius was confirmed by Rogers Muhwezi, who photographed a fresh specimen in 2018.
