Title :

The potential of Malaise traps as an important tool in butterfly (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea) inventories, based on studies conducted in Republic of Congo


Abstract :

Results of butterflies sampled as by-catch in Malaise traps deployed in indigenous forests at Parc National de Nouabalé-Ndoki, Republic of Congo are presented. Using traps deployed with cyanide as a killing agent, rather than the standard ethanol, 153 species of butterfly belonging to five families were sampled, which constituted nearly one-third of the butterfly species known from the Park, with numerous species not encountered during general collecting. The benefits and drawbacks of using this technique, as well as the potential for these traps to be used as part of future butterfly inventories are discussed. The species samples are presented in a tabulated form.
