The Museum’s collection contains 12 species of Megarthrus collected from the Nyungwe Forest (Rwanda), seven of which are new to science. This masters’ project consists of describing them (morphological approach) and identifying their systematic position within a broader phylogeny of the genus (molecular approach).
