216 Genus Eresina Aurivillius 14th edition (2015). Genus Eresina Aurivillius, 1899 In: Aurivillius, 1898-9. Kungliga Svenska Vetenskapakademiens Handlingar 31 (5): 253, 282 (1-561). Type-species: Durbania corynetes Grose-Smith & Kirby, by original designation. A purely Afrotropical genus containing 20 species. Colonies of species belonging to this forest-genus are usually strongly associated with specific tall forest trees containing nests of species of cocktail (Crematogaster) ants. The ant nests are often high up, in the forest canopy (Larsen, 1991c). Specimens fly high up, never much more than half a metre from the tree trunk, in the vicinity of the hanging ant nests, with a rapid fluttering flight. They spend long periods on the wing but rest on the tree trunks or on vines if the sun is obscured by clouds. Particular ant-trees may be frequented for years on end. Despite their presumed sedentary nature many species have a vast distributional range, from West Africa to the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda (Collins & Larsen, in Larsen, 2005a). The various species can be told apart when compared as series but single specimens require genitalic dissection in order to be identified. They appear to be associated with more open forest and some species, at least, are more active shortly after dawn (06h00 to 07h30). *Eresina bergeri Stempffer, 1956 Eresina bergeri Stempffer, 1956.

Furthermore records from the collection of the National density is frequently underestimated and collection data Museum of Kenya (Nairobi), the BIOTA-project and from offers a description of species diversity within a local literature were included in this list. In total 491 species or area, in particular with reference to rapid measurement 55 % of approximately 900 Kenyan species could be veri- of biodiversity (Trueman & Cranston 1997, Danks 1998, fied for the area. 31 species were not recorded before from Trojan 2000).

The kind of list being produced here represents an information source for the total species diversity of the Checkliste der Tagfalter des Kakamega-Waldschutzge- Kakamega forest.

The genus Eresina belongs to the Family Lycaenidae Leach, 1815; Subfamily Poritiinae Doherty, 1886; Tribe Liptenini Röber, 1892. The other genera in the Tribe Liptenini in the Afrotropical Region are Liptena, Obania, Kakumia, Tetrarhanis, Falcuna, Larinopoda, Micropentila, Pseuderesia, Eresiomera, Parasiomera, Citrinophila, Argyrocheila, Teriomima, Euthecta, Baliochila, Cnodontes, Congdonia, Eresinopsides, Toxochitona, Mimacraea and Mimeresia.

  • Nationally Threatened Species for Uganda
    Nationally Threatened Species for Uganda National Red List for Uganda for the following Taxa: Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Butterflies, Dragonflies and Vascular Plants JANUARY 2016 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The research team and authors of the Uganda Redlist comprised of Sarah Prinsloo, Dr AJ Plumptre and Sam Ayebare of the Wildlife Conservation Society, together with the taxonomic specialists Dr Robert Kityo, Dr Mathias Behangana, Dr Perpetra Akite, Hamlet Mugabe, and Ben Kirunda and Dr Viola Clausnitzer. The Uganda Redlist has been a collaboration beween many individuals and institutions and these have been detailed in the relevant sections, or within the three workshop reports attached in the annexes. We would like to thank all these contributors, especially the Government of Uganda through its officers from Ugandan Wildlife Authority and National Environment Management Authority who have assisted the process. The Wildlife Conservation Society would like to make a special acknowledgement of Tullow Uganda Oil Pty, who in the face of limited biodiversity knowledge in the country, and specifically in their area of operation in the Albertine Graben, agreed to fund the research and production of the Uganda Redlist and this report on the Nationally Threatened Species of Uganda. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS PREAMBLE .......................................................................................................................................... 4 BACKGROUND ....................................................................................................................................

COLLINS FITCA EMMC Report Number B3 REPORT ON BUTTERFLIES FROM AFRICAN BUTTERFLY RESEARCH INSTITUTE TO FITCA August 9-16 2004 By Steve C Collins, ABRI Fieldwork: Peter Walwanda, Francis Ambuso, Brian Finch OVERVIEW: FITCA Project The regional project FITCA (Farming in Tsetse Controlled Areas) has a general objective to integrate tsetse control activities into the farming practices of rural communities such that the problem of trypanosomosis can be contained to the levels that are not harmful to both human and the livestock and environmentally gentle and integrated into the dynamics of rural development and are progressively handled by the farmers themselves. The project is hosted by the Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources of the African Union (AU-IBAR) and covers areas with small scale farming in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia. EMMC (Environmental Monitoring and Management Component) is the environmental component of FITCA. It is implemented by ILRI in collaboration with CIRAD (as member of SEMG, Scientific Environmental Monitoring Group). This regional component has been charged with the responsibility of identifying of monitoring indicators and methodologies, as well as the development of an environmental awareness among the stakeholders. It contributes to propositions of good practices and activities mitigating the impacts and rehabilitating the threatened resources likely to result directly or indirectly of tsetse control and rural development.

Box 4241 Kampala, Uganda www.tourism.go.ug [email protected] © RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIES IN UGANDA 2018 Ministry of Wildlife, Tourism and Antiquities Foreword Uganda is a signatory to several international conventions that relate to the conservation of all biodiversity in the country such as the Convention on Biological Diversity, Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and Cartagena protocol all intended for the benefit local communities and global community. Species are disappearing due to various pressures on natural resources. Due to human population increasing trends and development pressures, previously intact habitats both protected and on private land have been converted, cleared and/or degraded leading to a decline in species population and diversity. The effects of climate change, which are hard to forecast in terms of pace and pattern, will probably also accelerate extinctions in unknown ways. Studies have been conducted to tally the number of species of animals, plants and fungi that still exist globally. However the estimates normally produced are based on the International Union of Conservation of Nature criterion that at times overshadows the national scales.

The world's literature is searched systematically, and it ,is intended that every work on Lepidoptera puhlished after 1946 will he noticed here; omissions of papers more than 3 or 4 years old should be called to Dr. BELLINGER'S attention. New genera and higher categories are shown in CAPITALS, with types in parentheses; new species and subspecies are noted, with type localities if given in print. Larval foodplants are usually listed. Critical comments by abstractors may be made. Papers of only local interest and papers from The Lepidopterists' News are listed without abstract.
