BUTTERFLIES RECORDED DURING THE 2008 BUTTERFLY TOUR ORGANIZED BY BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION, GHANA Torben B. Larsen, November, 2008 Numbers: The numbering refers to the book Butterflies of West Africa – origins, natural history, diversity, conservation – Missing numbers belong to West African species not found in Ghana. Legends: Black columns are the present status of the visited localities in Larsen database, including records from the present trip SHH denotes actual records; shh denotes almost certain to occur; ooo denotes might possibly occur; –– denotes very unlikely to occur in the habitat SHH = Shai Hills Resource Reserve TOTAL LIST SHA = tour group in Shai Hills 27.x SHI = subsequent Butterfly conference visit 7.xi ABU = Aburi Botanical Gardens TOTAL LIST ABG = tour group in Aburi 28.x ABB = subsequent Butterfly conference visit 8.xi ATE = Atewa Range Forest Reserve TOTAL LIST ATW = tour group on Atewa 29/30.x BOB = Bobiri Butterfly Sanctuary TOTAL LIST BBI = tour group in Bobiri 31.x & 1.xi BBF = subsequent Butterfly conference visit 10-12.xi KAK = Kakum National Park TOTAL LIST KAK = tour group in Kakum (KAA = Kakum Abrafo HQ: KAS = Simon's compound) 2/3.xi ANK = Ankasa/Nini Suhien TOTAL LIST ANN = tour group in Ankasa 4/5.xi $ = recorded by tour members; £ = recorded subsequently to the tour group departure SHA new locality to the Ghana recording scheme
The following three-letter codes are used for rough ecological classifications WEF implies that the species is centered on Wet Evergreen Forest MEF implies that the species is centered on Moist Forests implies that the species is centered on Drier Semi-deciduous and marginal DRF forests ALF implies that the species is found in any type of forest GUI implies that the species is centered on the Guinea Savannah SUD implies that the species is centered on the Sudan Savannah SPE implies that the species is found in special habitats species that are practically ubiquitous through all habitats in most of UBQ Africa The species are roughly graded by rarity, though this is always a difficult call to make. Very rare species may one day be numerous in a single locality. Very common butterflies are sometimes absent. However, the following notations are used: VC = very common – species that are usually found on any visit to a suitable locality CO = common – species that are usually found on 75% of visits to most suitable localities NR = not rare – met with frequently but often not common RA = rare – species that are usually found on less than 25% of visits to most suitable localities VR = very rare – species that are usually found on less than 5% of visits to most suitable localities tbl = species collected by T.B. Larsen in Ghana col = species collected by colleagues since 1993 # = known from the protected areas system ~ = not known from protected areas system NOTE Subspecies are hidden in column C: authors and dates of description are found in Larsen (2005).
