Micropentila mpigi Stempffer & Bennett, 1965 View in CoL
The presence of this delicate butterfly in Mpanga Forest was overlooked by Baron et al. (2017), despite its name referring to Mpigi town and its type locality: Mpanga Forest ( Stempffer & Bennett, 1965) . It is another Lake Victoria forest endemic butterfly, known only from a few localities from Eastern Uganda and North-Western Tanzania (Minziro Forest ) ( Congdon & Collins, 1998).
