Abstract

The study aimed at determining the abundance of Hamanumida daedalus; Nymphalidae in North East Sector-Kingupira, in Selous Game Reserve. Transect-quadrat count was used in sampling the Butterflies. The abundance varied significant among transect (P<0.05). The relation between the trees and butterflies abundance was positive correlated (P<0.05). More is still to be discovered ondiscovered on this species in Tanzania and Selous Game Reserve in particular.

Key word; Abundance, Guinea fowl butterfly, Selous Game Reserve, Kingupira

Entomology and Applied Science Letters is an international double-blind peer reviewed publication which publishes scientific research & review articles related to insects that contain information of interest to a wider audience, e.g. papers bearing on the theoretical, genetic, agricultural, medical and biodiversity issues. Emphasis is also placed on the selection of comprehensive, revisionary or integrated systematics studies of broader biological or zoogeographical relevance. In addition to full-length research articles and reviews, the journal publishes interpretive articles in a Forum section, Short Communications, and Letters to the Editor. The journal publishes reports on all phases of medical entomology and medical acarology, including the systematics and biology of insects, acarines, and other arthropods of public health and veterinary significance.
