Syagrus morio is a species of leaf beetle from South Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [2] It was first described from Port Natal by Edgar von Harold in 1877.
The Congo River, formerly also known as the Zaire River, is the second longest river in Africa, shorter only than the Nile, as well as the second largest river in the world by discharge volume, following only the Amazon. It is also the world's deepest recorded river, with measured depths around 219.5 m (720 ft). The Congo-Lualaba-Chambeshi River system has an overall length of 4,700 km (2,920 mi), which makes it the world's ninth-longest river. The Chambeshi is a tributary of the Lualaba River, and Lualaba is the name of the Congo River upstream of Boyoma Falls, extending for 1,800 km (1,120 mi).
Myrmarachne is a genus of ant-mimicking jumping spiders that was first described by W. S. MacLeay in 1839. They are commonly called antmimicking spiders, but they are not the only spiders that have this attribute. The name is a combination of Ancient Greek μύρμηξ, meaning "ant", and ἀράχνη, meaning "spider".
The scaly spurfowl is a species of bird in the family Phasianidae. It is found in Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, São Tomé and Príncipe, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.
The African giant free-tailed bat, or African free-tailed bat is a species of bat in the family Molossidae. It is found in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, South Sudan, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and possibly South Africa. Its natural habitats are dry savanna and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
Eremospatha is a genus of climbing flowering plants in the palm family found in tropical Africa. These rattans are uncommon in cultivation and poorly understood by taxonomists;. Closely related to Laccosperma, they differentiated by the near complete absence of bracts and bracteoles. The name is from Greek meaning "without a spathe".
Laccosperma is a clustering genus of flowering plant in the family palm found in tropical Africa. Poorly studied and rarely cultivated, they are closely related to the genus Eremospatha and with it form a tribe in the Calameae characterized by dyads of hermaphrodite flowers. The genus name combines the Greek words for "reservoir" and "seed".
Colasposoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa, Asia and Australia.
Colasposoma flavipes is a species of leaf beetle of South Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was first described by the German entomologist Edgar von Harold in 1877.
Colasposoma instabile is a species of leaf beetle of Southeast Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, described by the German entomologist Edgar von Harold in 1877.
Colasposoma perlatum is a species of leaf beetle of Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was first described by the German entomologist Edgar von Harold in 1880.
Rhembastus variabilis is a species of leaf beetle. It is distributed in South Africa, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, and West Africa as far as Guinea and Ivory Coast. It was described by the German entomologist Edgar von Harold in 1877.
Scelodonta vicina is a species of leaf beetle of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, described by the German entomlogist Edgar von Harold in 1877.
Syagrus puncticollis is a species of leaf beetle. It is distributed in Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea and Sudan. It was first described by the German entomologist Edgar von Harold in 1877. Host plants for the species include Erythrophleum guineense.
Rhembastus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, native to Africa. Whilst the taxonomy of the genus is disputed, the genus has been suggested as a biological control agent for Bryophyllum delagoense in Australia.
Afroeurydemus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, found in Africa. The genus was separated from Eurydemus in 1965 by Brian J. Selman, who moved all African species of Eurydemus he had seen to this genus or related African genera and considered it likely that Eurydemus was restricted to Fiji. Many species were also originally placed in Syagrus.
The African trident bat is a species of bat found in Africa.
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.
Majungaeus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Madagascar.
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.
