I have heared that both ssp of Charaxes martini from Malawi are presumed extinct due to habitat destruction. I have not seen any specimens that are less than twenty years old. My son caught a decent male specimen of m. helenae on Zomba Mountain in August this year. So this ssp. of martini is not in fact extinct (unless that individual was the last one, of course .......). |
