Article Reference Survey on the distribution of the Sweet potato weevil, Cylas species-complex in Ghana (Coleoptera: Brentidae)
The Sweet potato weevils of the genus Cylas are the most destructive pests of sweet potato and are widely distributed in Africa. The aim of this study was to identify and document the species of Cylas occurring in sweet potato production zones in Ghana. A survey was conducted in 23 localities in 2015 from July to December in seven regions in Ghana in order to determine the identity of the pest. We collected nine thousand and two specimens from Central, Eastern, Greater-Accra, Northern, Volta, Upper-East, and the Upper-West regions. Two species were identified: Cylas brunneus Fabricius, 1797 and Cylas puncticollis Boheman, 1833. Cylas puncticollis occurred in all regions and represented 6,107 specimens (68%), while 2,895 of the specimens (32%) could be assigned to C. brunneus. The latter is restricted to the southern sector including Volta, Central, Eastern and Greater Accra Regions. When considering both species in the southern sector, the Volta Region accounted for 3,117 specimens (48%) followed by 1,447 (22%), 987 (15%), and 980 (15%), from the Central, Eastern, and Greater-Accra Regions, respectively. The dominant species in southern and northern sector was C. puncticollis.

Article Reference Results of ant collections on Santa Cruz Island within the framework of the 2012 Global Taxonomy Initiative Ant Course at Galápagos (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
During a ten-days ant course carried out in November 2012 within the framework of a Belgian Focal Point to the Global Taxonomy Initiative GTI type 2 grant, eight students and four instructors collected 22 ant species at ten sites distributed along an altitudinal gradient on Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos Archipelago (Ecuador). Disturbed and urbanized zones as well as natural areas were visited. We discuss the results and link the collected species to altitude and vegetation types occurring on Santa Cruz Island.

We present new Gabonese locality records for Mecistops leptorhynchus, Osteolaemus tetraspis (Crocodylidae), Ichnotropis bivittata (Lacertidae), Lacertaspis reichenowii (Scincidae), Varanus ornatus (Varanidae), Dipsadoboa weileri, Grayia ornata (first record from Gabon of the striped form), Philothamnus hughesi, Thelotornis kirtlandii, Toxicodryas blandingii (Colubridae), Dendroaspis jamesoni jamesoni, Naja annulata (Elapidae), Bothrolycus ater, Hormonotus modestus, Mehelya poensis (Lamprophiidae), Prosymna ambigua (first documented record for Gabon) (Prosymnidae), Python sebae (Pythonidae), Bitis arietans and B. nasicornis (tenth reptile species recorded from a cave in Gabon) (Viperidae). One species is newly recorded from Loango National Park, three from Haut-Ogooué Province, and one from Nyanga Province. We report a fatal envenomation presumably due to Dendroaspis jamesoni jamesoni in Ogooué-Ivindo Province. We reject a record of Grayia ornata from Mount Kupe, Cameroon.
