Die Hypothese, daß kein Zusammenhang zwischen larvaler und imaginaler Tracht be steht, wird meist mit hoher statistischer Wahrscheinlichkeit angenommen. Im Rah men der Studien der Präimaginalstadien werden einige systematische Änderungen durchgeführt: Die frühere Unterfamilie Ludiinae wird zu einer Tribus innerhalb der Saturniinae reduziert; die Triben Micragonini und Decachordini werden dazu in Synonymie gestellt. Dazu werden eine Vielzahl von Merkmalen angegeben.

Box 395 Pretoria 0001 South Africa. 7242 Volume 13 No. 1 January 2013 ABSTRACT This study was to determine the prevalence of entomophagy in the post independence era (after 1980) in Zimbabwe given that the social status of many families has changed. A cross-sectional non probability sampling was used to determine who ate which insect and how much they ate and where they came from. The availability of each insect was determined at provinces and through key informants. Data were collected through questionnaires and physical visits to all provinces of Zimbabwe to collect empirical data. The population of those that never participated in entomophagy was less than 10% across the age groups in the sampled populations. In the order, Lepidoptera, which comprises several species the larval stages are mostly consumed in the fourth instar after degutting. The caterpillars are known locally as madora. Imbrasia belina was consumed by more than 90% of the respondents. In the order Isoptera Macrotermes sp. [ishwa] were consumed by more than 80% of the respondents. In the order Coleoptera Eulepida sp, [mandere] and Sternocera orissa [zvigakata] are also widely consumed. -

Lepidoptera fauna of Lesotho. Acta zoologica cracoviensia, 49B(1-2): 137-180. Abstract. By the end of the year 2004, 393 species belonging to 225 genera and 24 familie of Lepidoptera have been recorded from Lesotho, amongst which 115 butterfly and 278 moth species, i.e. 13.03 % and 3.65 % of the southern African butterfly and moth fauna re- spectively. The most species rich families included Noctuidae, Lycaenidae and Geometri- dae. Many species are probably endemic or near-endemic to the Maloti/Drakensberg region. A total of 39 species (9.9 %) are known from the type locality alone. Five Lesotho species: Torynesis pringlei (vulnerable, endemic to Lesotho), Lepidochrysops loewen- steini (rare), L. oosthuizeni (rare), Metisella syrinx (rare, dependent on rare plant – Tham- nocalamnus tesselattus) and Aloeides dentatis maseruna (insufficiently known) are listed in the South African Red Data Book (HENNING &HENNING 1989). In the present paper, 66 species new for Lesotho are listed. For each listed species all records of occurrence in Lesotho are listed, with details on locality and source of information, as well as the global distribution of this species.

ZooKeys 882: 87–125. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.882.36634 Abstract Lepidoptera is the second largest order of insects. Encompassing moths and butterflies, it is regarded as one of the most important components of biodiversity. Here, an updated comprehensive overview of Lepidoptera recorded in Ethiopia is presented, composed of 2,438 taxa in 48 families, of which 664 are endemic. Records were compiled from various literature sources and website databases. Although still being far from complete, this review provides important baseline data for understanding zoogeographic patterns and thus for undertaking effective conservation action. Further research on Ethiopian Lepidop- tera is encouraged. Keywords Africa, butterflies, checklist, DNA barcoding, endemic, Ethiopian moths Introduction Ethiopia is among the largest countries in the African continent, located in the horn of Africa, covering a total area of 1,127,127 km2 (Gordon and Carillet 2003; EBI 2015; Tesfu et al. -
Nutritional Composition of Edible Insects Consumed in Africa: a Systematic Review

Munyai School of Life Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Private Bag X01, Scottsville 3209, South Africa; [email protected] (R.S.); [email protected] (T.C.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 13 August 2020; Accepted: 3 September 2020; Published: 11 September 2020 Abstract: Edible insects are an important protein rich natural resource that can contribute to resilient food security. Edible insects not only play an important role in traditional diets, but are also an excellent source of protein in traditional dishes in Africa. We systematically searched Web-of-Science and Google Scholar from year 2000–2019 for studies on the consumption of insects and their nutritional composition in Africa, resulting in 98 eligible papers, listing 212 edible insect species from eight orders. These insects were rich in protein, fats, and fibre. The highest protein content was reported for Lepidoptera (range: 20–80%). Coleoptera had the highest carbohydrate content (7–54%), while Lepidoptera had the highest fat content (10–50%). Considering the excellent source of nutrition, and potential socio-economic benefits, from edible insects, they can contribute strongly to improved food security, and rural development in developing countries. In addition, edible insects can be used as a sustainable food source to combat food shortages in the future, for example, providing resilience during times of drought or other climate stressors. Keywords: entomophagy; Africa; edible insects; nutrition; food security 1. Introduction Consumption of insects has recently received more attention because of their promising potential for contributing to livelihoods and mitigating food security problems around the world [1–3]. -
Chapter 11 SOUTHERN AFRICA: OVERVIEW The
Chapter 11 Chapter 11 SOUTHERN AFRICA: OVERVIEW The Southern Africa region as treated here includes Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the islands of Madagascar and Mauritius. A wide variety of insects are eaten including at least 83 species belonging to at least 72 genera, 35 families and 9 orders (see Regional Taxonomic Inventory). The specific identity is known for only 62 of the species, while the generic identity is known for another 17, the family identity for another 7 and only the order for one species. The total, however, is undoubtedly much higher, as almost nothing is known about the specific identity of insects consumed in Botswana, Mozambique and Namibia, while the totals of 35, 36 and 21 recorded (at least to genus) from South Africa, Zimbabwe and Madagascar, respectively, are obviously far from complete. In Zimbabwe, for example, Gelfand (1971) and Chavunduka (1975) record the specific identity of three species of caterpillars (and a fourth species to genus), but identify at least six additional species on the basis of vernacular names and host plants utilized.
