J., Ábrahám, L., Sáfián, Sz. & Ilniczky, S.: A faunistic contribution to the but- terfly fauna of Oman (Lepidoptera: Diurna). Abstract: During five entomological field expeditions between 2008 and 2019, butterfly speciemens were collected in Oman, and a total of 492 specimens of 46 species were documented. Faunistic and distribution data for each species is presented, along a short overview of the physical geography of Oman and biogeo- graphical notes of the butterfly fauna. With 30 figures. Keywords: butterfly, faunistic, distribution, Oman. Introduction The Sultanate of Oman is located at the southeastern coast of the Arabian Penninsula. The country’s landscape is divided into two major ecoregions, (1) Temperate grasslands, savannas, and shrublands, (2) Deserts and xeric shrublands. The former includes the higher regions of the rocky, 650 km long Al Hajar Mountain range from the tip of the Musandam peninsula to Ra's Al Had. -
African Butterfly News!
LATE WINTER EDITION: JULY / AUGUST AFRICAN 2017-4 THE BUTTERFLY LEPIDOPTERISTS’ SOCIETY OF AFRICA NEWS LATEST NEWS Welcome to the Late Winter edition of African Butterfly News! African Butterfly News celebrates its first year of existence; the first edition, 2016-5, was circulated in September last year. The photographic competition commenced in August 2016, so the annual award will be made in the next, Spring Edition – for purposes of the photographic competition, the season starts in August and ends in July. A reminder that the newsletter is circulated every two months: Late Summer (January and February) – circulated in January Autumn (March and April) – circulated in March Early Winter (May and June) – circulated in May Late Winter (July and August) – circulated in July Spring (September and October) – circulated in September Early Summer (November and December) – circulated in November You will all be aware of the devastating fires that the southern Cape experienced in June. Dave and Hanna Edge, LepSoc Africa’s Treasurer and Membership Secretary respectively, were caught up in this drama, and had to evacuate their house (refer to Dave’s eyewitness account below). Fortunately, the building survived the fire, although the nearby Brenton Blue Reserve was incinerated. All fences, sign boards and marker-posts were destroyed – it is hoped that some larvae or pupae of the Brenton Blue (Orachrysops niobe) are still alive, safely underground. See a report under COREL under the “Projects” section. Some of you may have seen an article in the Sunday Times, by Aaron Hyman, a friend of Christopher Dobson. This magazine relies on material from you, the members of LepSoc Africa. -

G. Talbot. Original from and digitized by National University of Singapore Libraries CATALOGUE OF THE TYPE SPECIMENS OF LEPIDOPTERA RHOPALOCERA IN THE HILL MUSEUM. By A. G. GABRIEL, F.E.S. INTRODUCTION BY G. TALBOT. It is important to know exactly where type specimens are to be found. The British Museum set an example by publishing catalogues of some of their Rhopalocera types, and we hope this will be continued. Mr. Gabriel, who was responsible for that work, has been asked by Mr. Joicey to prepare a catalogue for the Hill Museum. The original description of almost every name in this catalogue has been examined for the correct reference, and where the sex or habitat was wrongly quoted, the necessary correction has been made. -

408 Genus Myrina Fabricius
AFROTROPICAL BUTTERFLIES 17th edition (2018). MARK C. WILLIAMS. http://www.lepsocafrica.org/?p=publications&s=atb Genus Myrina Fabricius, 1807 In: Illiger, K., Magazin für Insektenkunde 6: 286 (277-289). Type-species: Papilio alcides Cramer, by subsequent designation (Kirby, 1870. Journal of the Linnean Society of London (Zoology) 10: 500 (494-503).). The genus Myrina belongs to the Family Lycaenidae Leach, 1815; Subfamily Theclinae Swainson, 1831; Tribe Amblypodiini Doherty, 1886. There are no other genera in the Tribe Amblpodiini in the Afrotropical Region. Myrina (Fig-tree Blues) is a purely Afrotropical genus containing three species. Commonly known as ‘Fig-tree Blues’ because the larvae use species of figs (Ficus – Moraceae) as larval host plants. One species is confined to primary forest, one species occurs in savanna habitats and the widespread Myrina silenus is found in habitats varying from forest to subdesert. The genitalia are characteristic for the genus but there are few differences between the species. The hindwing possesses a single long, thick, often furled tail at vein 1b, which reminds one of a miniature dried tobacco leaf. *Myrina dermaptera (Wallengren, 1857)# Lesser Fig-tree Blue Males of the Lesser Fig-tree Blue (Myrina dermaptera).

Namibia & Botswana 2014 A Tropical Birding Custom Trip Namibia & Botswana Tropical Birding Custom Trip August 7-23, 2014 Guides: Ken Behrens & Charley Hesse Photos by Ken Behrens. Most photos taken during the trip. Annotated checklist by Jerry Connolly www.tropicalbirding.com WINDHOEK After arrival in Namibia’s capital, we had a day to relax and enjoy the excellent birding on offer around this small and charming city. Windhoek has a population of about 300,000, out of Namibia’s tiny population of only 2.1 million, remarkable for a country that is twice the size of California. Crimson-breasted Gonolek (left), the national bird of Namibia, showed well at Avis Dam. On our morning walk at Avis Dam, we enjoyed Marico Sunbird (bottom left) and Southern Cordonbleu (top right), while there were a bounty of waterbirds at the Gammons Water Care (Sewage!) Works, including African Darter (bottom right) and Red-knobbed Coot (top left). Our day in Windhoek was relaxing but still productive. From Windhoek, in the central mountains, we descended into the Namib Desert, where species like these Common Ostrich survive despite incredibly harsh conditions. South African Ground Squirrel (top); Namib Dune Ant (bottom right); and Rueppell’s Bustard (bottom left), creatures of the Namib. WALVIS BAY AND SWAKOPMUND The Namib dune fields hold Namibia’s sole political endemic, the Dune Lark. Walvis Bay itself is a mecca for waterbirds, including thousands of flamingos. SPITZKOPPE From the Namib coast, we headed inland to Spitzkoppe, one of Namibia’s most striking landmarks. Our avian target at Spitzkoppe was the scarce Herero Chat. -
