Nectar plants, pollination and implications for dispersal corridors of the Critically Endangered <i>Callioratis millari</i> (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Diptychinae)


Reinier F. Terblanche

Abstract

Nectar plant visitations by adult Callioratis millari were observed, and photographic evidence is presented that C. millari is a pollinator of one of its nectar plants Gnidia calocephala. A means of identifying individuals of C. millari was discovered. Other lepidopteran visitors to G. calocephala are listed. Establishment of dispersal corridors populated by suitable nectar plants is discussed and recommended.
