Preliminary note on some aquatic insects in the Ouémé Valley

Abstract

During October 2003, we completed an exploratory mission to some locations in the Ouémé Valley to collect insects. A total of nine species and some specimens apparently belonging to the Elmidae and Odonata were collected during the mission. ‘Dejoux et al., 1981' confirmed that the rare or poorly known species are sparcely distributed, and it is unlikely that they would be encountered within a small area.
