This article presents synonymised with Aslauga Kirby (Libert, 1994: 412). the taxonomic judgements of the present authors based D’Abrera gave no reason for his decision, although he on a careful review of all the published literature and suggested that Aslauga pandora might be placed in other evidence to hand. In many instances d’Abrera Paraslauga on the grounds of the large androconial produced no sound evidence to support his taxonomic patch on the hindwing of that species. Libert, on the views, and relied on his own personal judgement. other hand, considered the evidence in detail.

The Aphnaeinae (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) are a largely African subfamily of 278 described species that exhibit extraordinary life-history variation. The larvae of these butterflies typically form mutualistic associations with ants, and feed on awide variety of plants, including 23 families in 19 orders. However, at least one species in each of 9 of the 17 genera is aphytophagous, parasitically feeding on the eggs, brood or regurgitations of ants. This diversity in diet and type of symbiotic association makes the phylogenetic relations of the Aphnaeinae of particular interest. A phylogenetic hypothesis for the Aphnaeinae was inferred from 4.4 kb covering the mitochondrial marker COI and five nuclear markers (wg, H3, CAD, GAPDH and EF1) for each of 79 ingroup taxa representing 15 of the 17 currently recognized genera, as well as three outgroup taxa. Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses all support Heath’s systematic revision of the clade based on morphological characters.

  • Butterflies As an Indicator Group for the Conservation Value of the Gola Forests in Sierra Leone
    BUTTERFLIES AS AN INDICATOR GROUP FOR THE CONSERVATION VALUE OF THE GOLA FORESTS IN SIERRA LEONE Claudio Belcastro* & Torben B. Larsen** * Lungotevere di Pietro Papa 21 00146 Roma, Italia [email protected] ** 358 Coldharbour Lane London SW9 8PL, UK [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Less than 5% of Sierra Leone’s original forest cover still exists, though some of that hardly merits the term forest. Besides the remaining forest on the Freetown Peninsula, and the important Loma and Tingi Mountains, with their submontane elements, Gola Forest is the most significant forest in the country. During late April, 2006, a one week field-trip was made to study the butterflies of the Gola Forests by two separate teams, headed by one of the authors of this report. Belcastro also returned to Gola North for three days in early May. In all, 370 species were positively recorded. The estimated total for the area is about 600, accounting for about 80% of the 750 or so known Sierra Leone butterflies. Many rare and interesting butterflies occur and, in general, the Gola Forests are now the westernmost outpost of the West African forest fauna. Many species endemic to Africa west of the Dahomey Gap and to its Liberia subregion were found in Gola. The fact that so many rare and interesting species were collected in, sometimes quite heavily, logged areas of Gola is a strong indicator that the forests have the capacity to return to a state that resembles the original over the next 25 years. In Gola (South), and especially in Gola (North), there appear to be areas of undisturbed forest that act as reservoirs of biodiversity that help to re-populate the regenerating parts of the forest.

Type-species: Pentila kirbyi Aurivillius, by subsequent designation (Opinion 814, 1967. Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 24: 145-146.). The genus Ornipholidotos belongs to the Family Lycaenidae Leach, 1815; Subfamily Poritiini Doherty, 1886; Tribe Pentilini Aurivillius, 1914.

Ornipholidotos (Glasswings) is a purely Afrotropical genus containing 61 species. Most recently comprehensively revised by Libert (2005e). The taxon Ornipholidotos muhata (Dewitz, 1887), described as Pentila muhata Dewitz, 1887 (Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift 30: 428)), is regarded by Libert (2005e: 29) as a nomen dubium.

Butterfly diversity and abundance were sampled across eight 1-ha silvicultural treatment plots in southern Cameroon. The plots included a cleared and unplanted farm fallow, cleared and replanted forest plots, and uncleared forest plots. The replanted plots were line-planted with Terminalia ivorensis, but differed in the degree and method of clearance. A total of 205 species of butterflies were collected over two different seasons. Several sampling methods were used, including hand collecting and baited canopy traps. Sites with the greatest degree of disturbance and lowest level of tree cover had the lowest number of individuals and species of butterflies. The farm fallow had substantially fewer individuals and species of butterflies than the other plots. The replanted plots were intermediate between the farm fallow and uncleared forest in terms of abundance, richness and composition.
