A scientist has discovered a new species of insect and it was very special.
The leafhopper was found on a student field trip to Kibale National Park.
He named the insect after it.
Dr Helden said it is from a group of leafhoppers, whose biology is almost completely unknown.
In 1969 there was the last recorded leafhopper in the Central African Republic.
Dr Helden, from the university's Applied Ecology Research Group, said that leafhoppers are very unusual in appearance and are rarely found.
We don't know much about the new species, including what plants it feeds on or its role in the local environment.
Like most leafhoppers, the 6.5mm insect has a pitted body and a partially leaf-shaped male reproductive organs.
Dr Helden has been leading student field trips to Kibale since 2015 and has been documenting insects in the park, producing picture guides of its butterflies, hawkmoths and tortoise beetles.
He said that they wanted to give something back to the people of Uganda who have been so welcoming to the university.
The amount of rainforest that has been cleared in the tropics is devastating.
The scientist is worried about the loss of species before they are discovered.
To find this new species is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement, as its closest relative was last found in a different country over 50 years ago.
As soon as I saw it, I knew it was special.
The specimen was donated to the Museum of Zoology at Cambridge University.
