Cirina forda and Cirina butyrospermi edit

My understanding is that Cirina forda is found in Central and Southern Africa and feeds mainly on Burkea africana and other Fabaceae[1], Cirina butyrospermi is found in West Africa and feeds only on Vitellaria paradoxa[2].(Jawleyford (talk) 13:40, 3 July 2020 (UTC))[3](Jawleyford (talk) 12:53, 4 July 2020 (UTC))Reply
