subspecies: molleti Allard 1991
wild habitat: Acacia woodland
origin: Ethiopia, near Bedele, 4/2002, leg. Petr Malec
wild imago size: 20-23 mm
breeding difficulty: medium, diapause in cocoon stage was necessary for successfull reproduction.
species: recurva (Fabricius, 1801)
wild habitat: species of western african rain forest
origin: Nigeria
wild imago size: 22-24 mm
breeding difficulty: same as for P. cinctuta molleti
species: plana (Wiedemann, 1821)
wild habitat: species very common within South Africa, prefer forestal habitats
origin: South Africa, KwaZulu Natal
wild imago size: 23-25 mm
breeding difficulty: Species typical to undergo prepupal dormancy. In captive breeding larval development usually takes around three months at 20°C (time may be shorter at higher temperatures) and the diapause takes about six months. Larvae preferably feed on cow dung, but also accept compost/rotten wood and leaf litter mixture as breeding substrate. Species can be reproduced in captivity for more than one generation with no special effort. However, the longer pupal phase makes breeding complicated and requires keeping the conditions stable and rather dry for almost six months.
species: mhondana (Oberthür, 1880)
variety: scalaris Quedentfeld 1891
variety: vacua Gerstaecker 1883
wild habitat: all habitats of eastern Africa
origin: Tanzania
wild imago size: 22-24 mm
breeding difficulty: relatively the easiest species to breed in genus
