Popis: 30. Appias epaphia epaphia (Cramer, 1779) WL: 25mm. Common throughout most of tropical Africa, this species occurs in dry areas and degraded biotopes. In Guinea-Bissau it is uncommon, but can be seasonally and locally abundant. The nominate subspecies flies from Senegal to Nigeria and onward to Angola, Uganda and western Kenya. The host-plants consist of several Capparaceae (Capparis, Maerua, Boscia, Niebuhria and Ritchiea) and Cleome sp. (Cleomaceae). The latter is a garden-plant cultivated in several African towns around which the species may be common. Studied material. Cacheu: Cai��, common at the beginning of November (JB).
