Mount Aopinie

Mount Aopinie (French: Mont Aoupinié) is a mountain of central New Caledonia, with an elevation of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft).

[1] [2][3] The source of the Poya River lies to the southwest.

The eponymous faunal reserve[4] (Réserve de Faune de l’Aoupinié) contains the mountain and its surrounds, straddling the border between Poya and Ponérihouen communes.

Biological names that reference the location include: the spiders Bradystichus aoupinie(Wikispecies) and Orstom aoupinie(Wikispecies); and the moth genus Aoupinieta.

Type specimens for the lizard Nannoscincus rankini[5] and the flatworm Pimea monticola[1] were collected at the mountain's summit.
