Those species followed by LTR or LR have been confirmed by the Luigi Racheli. Those species followed by HK are confirmed by Horst Kach. Those species followed by CL are confirmed by Claude Lemaire. Those species followed by ? are not confirmed, but I believe they are likely present and will be encountered with more sampling in different areas of Imbabrua. Please help me document the accuracy of this list by sending images and data to Bill Oehlke.
