Introduction In its effort towards creating an eco-friendly campus, the University encourages its Faculty and Students to engage in conserving the Campus environment, its flora and fauna, through activities that include individual and collaborative research, conservation practices, activities and initiatives of the EcoClub and the University as a whole. Since 2017, the School of Life Sciences has been on a constant endeavour to create a repository of information on the biodiversity of the Campus through documentation of indigenous flora and fauna in its three Campuses, particularly the Tapesia Campus, which harbours unique species of flora and fauna. The Tapesia Campus is home to 296 species of fauna and 38 species of flora. Among the animal species, of mention is the incredible arachnid Lyrognathus saltator, the common Tarantula, which is found nesting among our vast expanse of greens. These numbers reveal the rich biodiversity of the Campus which summon for both admiration as well as protection and conservation.

Autumn records are documented for captures since 2006 in central Florida and since 2008 in southern Louisiana. The species is known throughout Southeast and East Asia, from India to southern Japan, to Australia and New Guinea, as well as from Hawaii and the South Pacific islands, feeding mostly on dried plant leaves and plant debris, rotting seed pods, and particularly palm thatch. Rapid spread in the southeastern United States is likely, possibly also to Mexico and Central America.

(2007) Arthropod-pathogenic Entomophthorales from Switzerland. III. First additions. ± Sydowia 59 (1): 75±113. Twenty-nine species of arthropod-pathogenic Entomophthorales new to Switzerland are described. Nine are described as new species, namely Batkoa hydrophila from Plecoptera, Conidiobolus caecilius from Psocoptera, Entomophaga antochae from Limoniidae (Diptera), E. thuricensis from Cicadellidae (Homo- ptera), Erynia fluvialis from midges (Diptera), E. tumefacta from Muscidae (Dip- tera), Eryniopsis rhagonidis from Rhagionidae (Diptera), Pandora longissima from Limoniidae (Diptera) and Strongwellsea pratensis from Muscidae (Diptera). Pan- dora americana, P. sciarae, Zoophthora aphrophorae and Z. rhagonycharum are new combinations. Eleven species are first records since the original description. The list of species recorded from Switzerland amounts to 90 species representing 38% of the world-wide known species of arthropod-pathogenic Entomophthorales. Part I of this monograph (Keller 1987) treated the genera Con- idiobolus, Entomophaga [including the species later transferred on to the new genus Batkoa Humber (1989)], and Entomophthora. Part II (Keller 1991) treated the genera Erynia sensu lato (now subdivided into the genera Erynia, Furia and Pandora), Eryniopsis, Neozygites, Zoophthora and Tarichium. So far 51 species including 8new ones have been listed.

Introduction The butterflies of Fiji and Solomon Islands were recorded in detail by Kushi- gemati, Koda & Hirowatari (1983). The present paper deals with the remainder of the 'macrolepidoptera' which are based on material collected by the junior author in Guadalcanal Is., Solomon Islands when he joined the Scientific Expedition of Kago shima University Research Center for South Pacific, 1982. The systematic order is largely based on that of Inoue et al. (1982), and runs as follows: Pyraloidea (Hyblaeidae); Geometroidea (Uraniidae); Sphingoidea (Sphingidae); Noctuoidea (Arctiidae, Hypsidae, Ctenuchidae, Noctuidae). Information on the analysis of these species was gained mainly from references to the sources in the literatures such as Butler (1887), Druce (1888), Warren (1926), Robinson (1975) and Holloway (1979). But 7 species in the list remain unidentified, and further examinations of abundant materials are necessary in order that they may be definitely identified. Enumeration Family Hyblaeidae 1.
