    On the presence of two tropical butterflies (Lepidoptera Nymphalidae) in the city of Palermo (Italy)
    https://doi.org/10.31396/Biodiv.Jour.2024.15.1.79.84

    ABSTRACT
    Two species of showy diurnal butterflies of tropical origin were recently found in the city of Palermo (Italy). These are: Amauris hecate hecate (Butler, 1866) (Nymphalidae Danainae) endemic to the Central Africa from Guinea to South Sudan up to Angola, Tanzania and Ethiopia and Siproeta epaphus (Latreille, [1813]) (Nymphalinae) native to Central America from Texas to Brazil and Peru. The reporting of these findings and the hypotheses on the presence of these species outside their natural range is the subject of this work.
