Axiocerses harpax ugandana Clench, 1963 View in CoL

A. harpax View in CoL is an inhabitant of open areas, including wetter types of savannah but also disturbed habitat and farmland in rainforest areas ( Larsen, 1991, 2005). The eastern population ssp. ugandana View in CoL is distributed from the Central African Republic to Western Kenya (Kakamega Forest) (www.abdb-africa.org), its presence along the forest edges in Mpanga is therefore not surprising. A few specimens were recorded during the most recent visit.
