... Within the D.R. Congo resides the largest national park in Africa, Salonga. With an area of about 36,000 km 2 , it is a rather pertinent example of the scale of paucity of knowledge on Congolese invertebrates, and only three spider species Pett et al. 2023 have been recorded from the national park based on an extensive literature search and the databases of the Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren (RMCA; Natural Heritage, 2023).
