Antiracotis zebrina

Synonyms: Racotis zebrina

Wikipedia Abstract

Racotis zebrina is a species of moth of the family Geometridae. It is found in Central, Eastern & Southern Africa, from Niger to South Africa. A known food-plant of the larvae is Popowia caffra (Annonaceae). It can be distinguished from Racotis squalida (Butler, 1878) by its smaller size and by the male antennae. In R.squalida these are quite short and straight, while they are much longer and coarser with strong ciliations in R.zebrina.
