Insect Communities

Cameroonian biodiversity is incredibly rich but still quite unknown. Even basic distribution data are often missing and any faunistic surveys can help towards our understanding of Cameroonian nature. Recently, the most ineresting of our records of moth species have been published. In the lower elevations of Mt. Cameroon, we have found 19 species never recorded in the country. Simultaneously, it is the first, although still smaller, output of our Mt. Cameroon project.

So far, Deinypena lathetica Holland, 1894 has been known from Gabon only. © V. Maicher
