Spatial and temporal variation in butterfly biodiversity in a West African forest: lessons for establishing efficient rapid monitoring programmes. African Journal of Ecology 50 (3): 326-334. Abstract: Because tropical forests face serious threats and are usually situated in developing countries, cheap and easy Rapid Biodiversity Assessment (RBA) seems an ideal strategy for documenting changes in habitat quality and setting conservation priorities. Fruit-feeding butterflies are often used as focal taxa to document biodiversity trends in tropical forests. However, the choice of inappropriate sampling strategies may nullify its value. More extensive data sets that sample multiple months and seasons and incorporate the vertical dimension are needed as a baseline for designing reliable sampling regimes. Therefore, we performed a butterfly trapping study in Ghana, using both understorey and canopy traps, and sampling seven periods covering dry and wet seasons. Both individual numbers and species richness were on average three to four times higher in the understorey than in the canopy traps with strikingly different species composition (only 11% overlap in species). The number of species and individual abundance recorded in a month varied extensively. This study underlined the importance of taking into account temporal variation and vertical stratification when designing RBAs of fruit- feeding butterflies in West African forests. We recommend the use of both understorey and canopy traps and inclusion of both wet and dry seasons into RBA sampling regimes. *ADUSE-POKU, K., VINGERHOEDT, E. & WAHLBERG, N. 2009.

The survey came about following a request from Tai Po Environmental Association. Recording, using ultraviolet light sources and live traps in four sub-sites, took place on the evenings of 24 April and 16 October 2009. In total, 825 moths representing 352 species were recorded. Of the species recorded, 3 meet IUCN Red List criteria for threatened species in one of the three main categories “Critically Endangered” (one species), “Endangered” (one species) and “Vulnerable” (one species” and a further 13 species meet “Near Threatened” criteria. Twelve of the species recorded are currently only known from Hong Kong, all are within one of the four IUCN threatened or near threatened categories listed. Seven species are recorded from Hong Kong for the first time. The moth assemblages recorded are typical of human disturbed forest, feng shui woods and orchards, with a relatively low Geometridae component, and includes a small number of species normally associated with agriculture and open habitats that were found in the SSSI site. Comparisons showed that each sub-site had a substantially different assemblage of species, thus the site as a whole should retain the mosaic of micro-habitats in order to maintain the high moth species richness observed.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Invertebrates, Natural History Museum, Bernastrasse 15, 3005 Bern, Switzerland. E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract The taxonomy and host ranges of the cavus species complex within Dibrachys Förster (Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae) are revised. Examination of about 810 specimens, including multivariate morphometric analysis of 21 quantitative characters clearly separated three species, Dibrachys microgastri (Bouché, 1834), Dibrachys lignicola Graham, 1969, and Dibrachys verovesparum Peters & Baur sp. n., but allowed no further subdivision of taxa according to origin, host association or previous taxonomic concepts. A neotype is designated for D. microgastri and under this name are placed in synonymy the names Dibrachys cavus (Walker, 1835) syn. n. (including eight current junior synonyms), Dibrachys clisiocampae (Fitch, 1856) syn. n. (including five current junior synonyms), Dibrachys boarmiae (Walker, 1863) syn. n., and Dibrachys ele- gans (Szelényi, 1981) syn. n. Dibrachys goettingenus Doganlar, 1987 syn. n. is synonymized under D. lignicola. The mor- phological analyses revealed several new qualitative and quantitative characters for separating taxa in this species complex and an identification key and diagnoses are provided for females and males. Dibrachys microgastri is a polypha- gous generalist pupal ectoparasitoid of several different orders of holometabolous insects, whereas D. lignicola is a polyphagous ectoparasitoid of hosts in Diptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera, and D.

    LATE SUMMER EDITION: JANUARY / AFRICAN FEBRUARY 2018 - 1 BUTTERFLY THE LEPIDOPTERISTS’ SOCIETY OF AFRICA NEWS LATEST NEWS Welcome to the first newsletter of 2018! I trust you all have returned safely from your December break (assuming you had one!) and are getting into the swing of 2018? With few exceptions, 2017 was a very poor year butterfly-wise, at least in South Africa. The drought continues to have a very negative impact on our hobby, but here’s hoping that 2018 will be better! Braving the Great Karoo and Noorsveld (Mark Williams) In the first week of November 2017 Jeremy Dobson and I headed off south from Egoli, at the crack of dawn, for the ‘Harde Karoo’. (Is there a ‘Soft Karoo’?) We had a very flexible plan for the six-day trip, not even having booked any overnight accommodation. We figured that finding a place to commune with Uncle Morpheus every night would not be a problem because all the kids were at school. As it turned out we did not have to spend a night trying to kip in the Pajero – my snoring would have driven Jeremy nuts ... Friday 3 November The main purpose of the trip was to survey two quadrants for the Karoo BioGaps Project. One of these was on the farm Lushof, 10 km west of Loxton, and the other was Taaiboschkloof, about 50 km south-east of Loxton. The 1 000 km drive, via Kimberley, to Loxton was accompanied by hot and windy weather. The temperature hit 38 degrees and was 33 when the sun hit the horizon at 6 pm.

Other genera of the Tribe Celaenorrhini in the Afrotropical Region are Ortholexis, Katreus, Celaenorrhinus, Scopulifera, Bettonula, Apallaga, Eretis, Sarangesa, Alenia and Triskelionia. Ortholexis (Scarce Sprites) is a wholly Afrotropical genus comprising four species. The genus Loxolexis Karsch, 1895 is (correctly) treated as a synonym of Katreus Watson, 1893 by Ackery et al., 1995 but was re-instated as a valid genus by Larsen, 2005a: 469, stat. nov.. However, Loxolexis is not available for this group of species, because its type species (percnoptera Karsch) is a junior subjective synonym of johnstonii Butler, the type species of Katreus; thus, Loxolexis and Katreus are subjective synonyms. The oldest available name for these species is Ortholexis Karsch, 1895 (Lamas, pers. comm., April, 2008). The taxonomy was formally stabilized by Cock & Congdon, 2011: 5 as Ortholexis Karsch 1895 stat. rev. *Ortholexis dimidia (Holland, 1896) Black Scarce Sprite Acallopistes dimidia Holland, 1896.

  • Inventaire Entomologique Des ZNIEFF De Martinique Et De La Réserve De La Caravelle
    Inventaire entomologique des ZNIEFF de Martinique et de la Réserve de la Caravelle Campagne de terrain 2014 TOUROULT Julien, POIRIER Eddy, BRAUD Julie, DEKNUYDT Francis, DUMBARDON-MARTIAL Eddy, MOULIN Nicolas, RAMAGE Thibault & ROMÉ Daniel Rapport SEAG 2015-1 Maître d'ouvrage : Touroult et al. 2015. Inventaire entomologique des ZNIEFF de Martinique. Rapport SEAG Résumé Dans la poursuite des inventaires menés depuis 2011, l'entomofaune de six sites situés dans le secteur de la Presqu'île de la Caravelle ont été échantillonnés en 2014. Il s'agit de cinq zones naturelles d'intérêt écologique, faunistique et floristique (ZNIEFF) et de la réserve naturelle de la Caravelle. Des techniques de collecte variées (pièges d'interception, piège lumineux, pièges aériens, recherche active et mise en émergence) ont été utilisées durant une mission de terrain de 20 jours en mai 2014 et complétées par une phase de terrain en septembre comprenant des techniques complémentaires (piège Malaise et assiettes jaunes en particulier). Au total 7 900 spécimens pour 380 espèces ont été déterminés par un ensemble de 27 spécialistes. Géographiquement proches, l'ensemble de ces sites possède un fonds de faune assez homogène, composé d'espèces de forêts sèches et d'espèces ubiquistes. Les analyses se sont appuyées sur la liste des insectes déterminants de ZNIEFF en Martinique, des espèces à la fois bien connues, endémiques et généralement localisées. La réserve de la Caravelle et la ZNIEFF 12 de Bois Pothau apparaissent comme les 2 sites les plus intéressants au regard de ces espèces déterminantes. La ZNIEFF 02 (Morne Régale, Pointe Batterie) s'est également révélée riche en espèces dont de nombreux endémiques.
