Platycorynus limbatus is a species of leaf beetle from Gabon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [2] It was first described by Joseph Sugar Baly in 1881.
There are two subspecies of P. limbatus:
The servaline genet is a genet species native to Central Africa. As it is widely distributed and considered common, it is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
The blacktip shark is a species of requiem shark, and part of the family Carcharhinidae. It is common to coastal tropical and subtropical waters around the world, including brackish habitats. Genetic analyses have revealed substantial variation within this species, with populations from the western Atlantic Ocean isolated and distinct from those in the rest of its range. The blacktip shark has a stout, fusiform body with a pointed snout, long gill slits, and no ridge between the dorsal fins. Most individuals have black tips or edges on the pectoral, dorsal, pelvic, and caudal fins. It usually attains a length of 1.5 m (4.9 ft).
The Central African oyan, also called Central African linsang, is a linsang species native to Central Africa.
The Congo serpent eagle is a species of bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, and is sometimes placed in the monotypic genus Dryotriorchis by some taxonomic authorities. This species is distributed across the African tropical rainforest, including upper and lower Guinean forests. This serpent eagle specializes in hunting in these forests’ dark understories. It has two subspecies, the nominate subspecies Dryotriorchis spectabilis spectabilis and Dryotriorchis spectabilis batesi. Though monotypic, it appears to be very closely related to Circaetus. This hawk is a medium-sized bird with distinctive short, rounded wings and a long, rounded tail. It is varying shades of brown on its back and has a slight crest. Its breast is white with variable amounts of a rufous wash and, in the nominate subspecies, is covered in round, blackish spots. The subspecies D. s. batesi only has these dots on its flanks. The Congo serpent eagle closely resembles Cassin's hawk-eagle, and some ornithologists believe that this likeness is a rare example of avian mimicry. It is a very vocal raptor, and often is one of the most heard species in its habitat.
The yellow-throated leaflove is a species of leaflove in the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is the only species of the monotypic genus Atimastillas. The yellow-throated leaflove is found in western and central Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, moist savanna, and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.
Cabanis's greenbul, also known as Cabanis's bulbul, is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in east-central and south-central Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.
The bushbuck is the nominate taxon of the bushbuck. It is a small to medium-sized antelope widespread in Africa. The Cape bushbuck is a southern and eastern subspecies which is recognised by some authors, which found evidence to consider the northern and southern populations to belong to a different subspecies in 2007.
The black bishop is a species of passerine bird in the family Ploceidae native to Africa south of the Sahara. Three subspecies are recognised.
Colasposoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa, Asia and Australia.
Platycorynus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa and Asia.
Platycorynus cribratellus is a species of leaf beetle. It is distributed in Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, southern Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was described by Léon Fairmaire in 1885.
Platycorynus descarpentriesi is a species of leaf beetle of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was described by Brian J. Selman in 1970.
Platycorynus kivuensis is a species of leaf beetle of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was first described by the Belgian entomologist Louis Jules Léon Burgeon in 1940.
Platycorynus verschureni is a species of leaf beetle of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, described by Selman in 1972.
Platycorynus dejeani is a species of leaf beetle. It was first described by the Italian entomologist Giuseppe Bertoloni from Inhambane, Mozambique in 1849. It occurs widely in sub-Saharan Africa.
Eumolpini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is the largest tribe in the subfamily, with approximately 170 genera found worldwide. Members of the tribe almost always have a longitudinal median groove on the pygidium, which possibly helps to keep the elytra locked at rest. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as appendiculate pretarsal claws.
Euryope is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
Thysbina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa. It was first established by the German entomologist Julius Weise in 1902, for several species from Colasposoma as well as three new species. According to Louis Jules Léon Burgeon in 1941, Thysbina is actually a synonym of Colasposoma, though this proposed synonymy has been ignored in later works.
Platycorynus marginalis is a species of leaf beetle from East Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was first described from Uhehe, a region now part of Tanzania, by Julius Weise in 1912.
Scelodonta albidovittata is a species of leaf beetle from Namibia, Tanzania, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, described by Joseph Sugar Baly in 1877.
