Three new species, Apallaga klaudiae sp. n., Gorgyra ziama sp. n., Andronymus teresae sp. n. and a new subspecies, Eagris tetrastigma lomana ssp. n., of skipper butterflies (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) from the tropical forest zone of Africa are described in comparison with their presumed closest relatives.

Lepidoptera associated with Boerhavia diffusa L. (Nyctaginaceae) in lower Ivory Coast. Two eggs, seventy two caterpillars and six pupae collected mainly in Abidjan on Boerhavia diffusa L., a ruderal Nyctaginaceae, and reared, allowed to show that this plant favors the subsistance of at least seven species of Lepidoptera in an extremely urbanized environment: Megalorhipida leucodactyla (Fabricius, 1794) (Pterophoridae), Hippotion celerio (Linnaeus, 1758) (Sphingidae), Disclisioprocta natalata (Walker, 1862) (Geometridae), Alpenus maculosa Boisduval, 1836 (Erebidae), Maliattha sp., Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval, 1833) and Aegocera rectilinea Boisduval, 1836 (Noctuidae). Disclisioprocta natalata is cited for the first time from Ivory Coast.

A morphologically distinct subspecies of Telchinia pseudepaea from the Guinea Highlands, Liberian subregion is described. Although male genitalia show no differences among the examined populations, both external morphology and geographic distribution support the recognition of the Liberian subregion population as a new subspecies.

The Hawkmoths of the Nimba Mountains region (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae). Some 70 species are recorded from the massif of the Nimba mountains, and this result is compared to the fauna of the Ivory Coast of 105 species, updated in the circumstances. Polyptychus lagnelae Pierre, 2014, Temnora stevensi Rothschild & Jordan, 1903, and T. elegans Rothschild, 1894, are recorded for the first time from Ivory Coast.
