Abstract:

"In this study, we describe Tagoropsis sabulosa zanzibarica Spitsyn & Bolotov ssp. nov. from Zanzibar (Unguja) Island. The new subspecies differs from the nominate one by having a yellow wing coloration and a contrast postmedial line on the forewing. The male of the new subspecies does not have marginal spots on the hindwing."
