records (based on images):
Larval Host Plants:
Terminalia (Bean 1968) (Combretaceae). Cassia fistula (Lovalekar et al. 2011), Entada (Bean 1968) (Fabaceae). Species of Spindasis, along with that of Apharitis, are often treated under Cigaritis following Heath (1997), but this needs to be confirmed with molecular phylogenetic analysis.
