Biology:Morcocytius
From HandWiki
Morcocytius is a genus of hawkmoths containing only one species, Morcocytius mortuorum.[1] Other sources do not recognize Morcocytius and keep this species in its original genus, Cocytius, as Cocytius mortuorum.[2][3]
Morcocytius is known from Panama south to central South America, with records from Colombia, French Guiana, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.[4]
The wingspan is about 130–140 mm. The adults feed on the nectar of various flowers. The larvae feed on a range of Annonaceae.[4]
