Further new species and records from the coastal dry forests and woodlands of the Rovuma Centre of Endemism
Background and aims – The coastal dry forests and woodlands of Cabo Delgado Province (Mozambique), part of the proposed Rovuma Centre of Endemism that is shared with coastal southern Tanzania, are known to support high numbers of endemic and highly range-restricted species. Here we investigate the taxonomic status of three...Darbyshire, Iain ; Goyder, David J. ; Wood, John R.I. ; Banze, Aurélio ; Burrows, John E.
