“…Three consecutive sampling expeditions were undertaken between 2016 and 2018 to create a comprehensive knowledge of the Lepidoptera fauna of the Maputo Special Reserve. This research has already produced publications on Tumicla (Lithosiini, Arctiinae, Erebidae) (Volynkin & László 2018), Nolini (Nolinae, Nolidae) (László & Vetina, 2019), Cossidae (Yakovlev et al 2020) Sphingidae (Bąkowski et al 2020), and Notodontidae (László et al 2021). This present paper aims to provide a first summary of the Limacodidae fauna of the Maputo Special Reserve based on the material collected between 2016 and 2018.…”

This paper is the first comprehensive summary of the Limacodidae fauna of the Maputo Special Reserve in southern Mozambique, listing 18 species, eight of which are new records for the country. The lectotype of Somara albicosta Hampson, 1910 is designated. Latoia albicosta (Hampson, 1910) syn. nov. is synonymised with Latoia intermissa (Walker, 1865), and Trogocrada dimorpha Janse, 1964 syn. nov. is synonymised with Trogocrada deleter Tams, 1953. The paper is illustrated with 43 colour and 9 black and white diagnostic figures.

“…A short reconnaissance trip was organised by the ANHRT and the MHNM in August of 2018 to Chimanimani National Reserve, Gorongosa National Park, Mount Mabu and Mount Namuli, with the aim of more comprehensive sampling efforts during the rains. A number of papers dealing with the results from these expeditions have been published (László & Vetina 2019;Yakovlev et al 2020;Volynkin & László 2018, with the present paper on the Sphingidae a further contribution to our knowledge of the lepidopteran fauna of Mozambique. Although the Sphingidae fauna of southern Africa is relatively well known (Pinhey 1962(Pinhey , 1979Mitchell 1973), very few publications dealing with the Mozambique fauna exist (Goldbach 1993; de Encarnação 2014).…”

“…More recently there have been a number of research papers to come out of MSR as a result of expeditions organised by the African Natural History Research Trust (ANHRT) in collaboration with the Museu De História Natural de Maputo. These include both checklists and new species descriptions for Lepidoptera belonging to the following families and subfamilies: Cossidae (Yakovlev et al, 2020), Erebidae: Arctiinae: (Volynkin & László, 2018;, Limacodidae (Taberer & László, 2022), Nolidae: Nolinae (László & Vetina, 2019), Notodontidae (László et al, 2021), Saturniidae and Eupterotidae (Takano & László, 2022), Sphingidae (Bakowski et al, 2020) and for the Mantodea (Miles, in prep. ).…”

This article provides a checklist for the butterfly species of the Maputo Special Reserve (MSR) in the south of Mozambique, recorded during three expeditions organised by the African Natural History Research Trust (ANHRT), in collaboration with the Museu de História Natural, Maputo, between 2016 and 2018. A total of 163 species in 86 genera are recorded from the reserve with two new country records for Mozambique: Deloneura millari millari Trimen, 1906 and Iolaus lulua (Riley, 1944), both Maputaland-Pondoland-Albany hotspot endemics. A brief note is also included for a short reconnaissance expedition in 2018 to the north of Mozambique which yielded two further new records, Acraea nohara halali Marshall, 1896 and Gretna carmen capra Evans, 1937. The possible factors governing butterfly distribution in the MSR, including seasonality, choice of study site and habitat are discussed in further detail. Photographs of habitus, genitalia and habitat are provided to corroborate findings and suggestions for future work included. Este artigo fornece uma lista de espécies de borboletas da Reserva Especial de Maputo, no sul de Moçambique, registadas durante três expedições organizadas pelo African Natural History Research Trust, em colaboração com o Museu de História Natural, Maputo, entre 2016 e 2018. Um total de 163 espécies, em 86 géneros foram registadas na reserva com dois novos registos nacionais para Moçambique: Deloneura millari millari Trimen, 1906 e Iolaus lulua (Riley, 1944), ambas são endémicas do hotspots de Maputaland-Pondoland-Albany. Esta incluida tambem uma breve nota de uma curta expedição de reconhecimento em 2018, ao norte de Moçambique que rendeu mais dois novos registros, Acraea nohara halali Marshall, 1896 e Gretna carmen capra Evans, 1937. Os possíveis fatores que padronizam a distribuição de borboletas na MSR, incluindo sazonalidade, escolha do local de estudo e habitat são discutidos em mais detalhes. Fotografias de habitus, genitália e habitat são fornecidas para corroborar as descobertas e sugestões para trabalhos futuros incluídos.
