Title :

The liptenids of the Banco Forest: a case study in conservation

Abstract :

The Banco Forest is a protected mature secondary forest on the outskirts of Abidjan, in Côte d’Ivoire.  Other forest relics remain, but have not received the same attention in terms of conservation.  A comparison is made of the liptenids now occurring in Banco and the nearby forest area of Adiopoudoumé in relation to records from the 1960s.  The result suggests that butterflies can survive well in a relatively small area of forest but that conservation is essential.
