Na sua maioria o material encontra-se depositadas na colecção aracno-entomológica do IICT e na colecção particular do primeiro co-autor, tendo-se reexaminado as amostras determinadas por Bacelar (1949). Em simultâneo, actualizam-se os conhecimentos sobre a fauna de lepidópteros ropalóceros do Parque Natural das Lagoas de Cufada (PNLC). A distribuição geográfica conhecida de cada uma das espécies no país é representada em mapas UTM com quadrícula de 10 Km de lado. Referem-se três espécies de Papilionidae e um género e quatro espécies de Pieridae como novidades faunísticas para a Guiné-Bissau e três espécies de Papilionidae e dois géneros e sete espécies de Pieridae são novas para o PNLC, no total das trinta e uma espécies até ao momento encontradas nestas famílias (nove, e vinte e duas, respectivamente) no país.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Kogyae Strict Nature Reserve, the only one in Ghana, was established to promote scientific re- search, particularly on how nature revitalizes itself after major disasters, and also to check the southward drift of the savannah grassland. This study presents the first comprehensive inventory of species composition and diversity of insects of the Reserve. Insects were surveyed between September 2011 and June 2012 to capture the end of the rainy season, the dry season and the peak of the wet season. Samples were taken from two sites within the Reserve, Dagomba and Oku using various sampling techniques including pitfall traps, malaise traps and sweep nets. Insect com- munities were characterized in terms of, 1) species richness estimators, 2) species richness, 3) Shannon-Weiner Index of Diversity, 4) Pielou’s evenness and 5) Bray-Curtis similarity.

The biological diversity on these islands is unknown and so a rapid assessment was conducted in January 2014 as part as a region wide assessment to determine the butterfly diversity on two of these islands, Biobio and Agbasiagba. Diversity indices were computed for both islands using the Shannon-Weiner index, Margalef’s index for richness and Whittaker’s index for comparison of diversity between the two islands. A total of eight hundred and eighty-one (881) individual butterflies representing forty-five (45) species belonging to eight (8) families were recorded during the study. Thirty-nine (39) species of butterflies were recorded on Biobio island whiles twenty-eight (28) species were recorded on Agbasiagba. This was expected as the larger islands are expected to support more species than smaller ones, with Biobio island being relatively bigger than Agbasiagba. The shared species of butterflies on both islands were twenty-two (22) representing 48.9% of the total species accumulated. Indicator species like Junonia oenone, Danaus chrysippus and Papilio demodocus were also recorded indicating the degraded floral quality of the Islands.
