Title :

A preliminary butterfly checklist (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) for Cyamudongo tropical forest fragment, Rwanda

Abstract :

This study provides a preliminary checklist of butterfly species occurring in the Cyamudongo tropical forest fragment, Rwanda. A survey of butterflies was conducted seasonally from October 2019 to August 2020. Butterflies were collected for identification using butterfly nets and fruit-baited traps along trails within Cyamudongo forest. One hundred and sixty-two butterfly species were recorded in the Cyamudongo forest, including thirteen species that are endemic to the Albertine Rift. This preliminary checklist serves as baseline data for conservationists including park managers and researchers concerned with butterfly conservation.
