“…More recently there have been a number of research papers to come out of MSR as a result of expeditions organised by the African Natural History Research Trust (ANHRT) in collaboration with the Museu De História Natural de Maputo. These include both checklists and new species descriptions for Lepidoptera belonging to the following families and subfamilies: Cossidae (Yakovlev et al, 2020), Erebidae: Arctiinae: (Volynkin & László, 2018;, Limacodidae (Taberer & László, 2022), Nolidae: Nolinae (László & Vetina, 2019), Notodontidae (László et al, 2021), Saturniidae and Eupterotidae (Takano & László, 2022), Sphingidae (Bakowski et al, 2020) and for the Mantodea (Miles, in prep. ).…”

This article provides a checklist for the butterfly species of the Maputo Special Reserve (MSR) in the south of Mozambique, recorded during three expeditions organised by the African Natural History Research Trust (ANHRT), in collaboration with the Museu de História Natural, Maputo, between 2016 and 2018. A total of 163 species in 86 genera are recorded from the reserve with two new country records for Mozambique: Deloneura millari millari Trimen, 1906 and Iolaus lulua (Riley, 1944), both Maputaland-Pondoland-Albany hotspot endemics. A brief note is also included for a short reconnaissance expedition in 2018 to the north of Mozambique which yielded two further new records, Acraea nohara halali Marshall, 1896 and Gretna carmen capra Evans, 1937. The possible factors governing butterfly distribution in the MSR, including seasonality, choice of study site and habitat are discussed in further detail. Photographs of habitus, genitalia and habitat are provided to corroborate findings and suggestions for future work included.

Um total de 163 espécies, em 86 géneros foram registadas na reserva com dois novos registos nacionais para Moçambique: Deloneura millari millari Trimen, 1906 e Iolaus lulua (Riley, 1944), ambas são endémicas do hotspots de Maputaland-Pondoland-Albany. Esta incluida tambem uma breve nota de uma curta expedição de reconhecimento em 2018, ao norte de Moçambique que rendeu mais dois novos registros, Acraea nohara halali Marshall, 1896 e Gretna carmen capra Evans, 1937. Os possíveis fatores que padronizam a distribuição de borboletas na MSR, incluindo sazonalidade, escolha do local de estudo e habitat são discutidos em mais detalhes. Fotografias de habitus, genitália e habitat são fornecidas para corroborar as descobertas e sugestões para trabalhos futuros incluídos.

A preliminary checklist of 39 species of lappet moths (Lasiocampidae) is provided for Maputo Special Reserve in southern Mozambique of which three are new to science, Diapalpus smithi sp. n., Eutricha giustii sp. n. and Rhinobombyx maputoensis sp. n., and a further ten are new country records. Several taxonomic changes are implemented in this paper: the synonymy of Sena prompta plusioides (Walker, 1862) syn. rev. with Sena prompta (Walker, 1855) is revived, Bombycopsis (Bufoidia) pallida Joannou & Krüger, 2009 syn. n. is synonymised with B. (B.) nigrovittata Aurivillius, 1927, and Lebeda mustelina Distant, 1899 is transferred to Leipoxais Holland, 1893 comb. n. Additionally, it is shown that the neotype designation by Zolotuhin & Gurkovich (2009) for Lebeda morosa Walker, 1865 is invalid although a new neotype is not selected as the original type may still be extant. All species, forms and both sexes where present are figured, as are the genitalia in the case of the new species and the comparative material examined.
