Here is an old paper photography I found in my old papers representing some Cymothoe gynandromorphs from my former collection now at ABRI !  I had many more gynandromorphs in my collection, but I only have photos mixed with other specimens ... A+, Michel |

WOW
So impressive !
I don't know why but there seem to be a predisposition for Cymothoe to do gynandro. I have seen many for sale.

Yes Olivier, but half of these are Cymothoe caenis, that sometime flies in great numbers, and due to high dimorphism, you notice them immediatly  A+, Michel |

half of these are Cymothoe caenis I left Congo just as the Cymothoe caenis migration was reaching its height in town... still managed to capture a good number of different forms the day before leaving... no gynandromorphs though! |

WOW So impressive ! I don't know why but there seem to be a predisposition for Cymothoe to do gynandro. I have seen many for sale. some explications - the great sexual dimorphism that makes the gynandro easily recognisable in the field (also the flight is unsual because of asymetry) - the "search pattern" of the local hunters that are looking for them - the incredible great number of butterflies caught in CAR
there are not only many Cymothoe gynandro, also others such as Charaxes, Papilio (at least 6 gynandro of antimachus and zalmoxis were caught there)
