The following material contains male specimens from southern Africa with indistinctive wing pattern and very similar male genitalia to Leucinodes kenyensis . According to morphology, we could not separate these specimens from Leucinodes kenyensis . In contrast to the morphological data, two of these specimens, the single records from Namibia and Swaziland, have distinctive DNA Barcodes from Leucinodes kenyensis as well as from each other (Fig. 47). For the remaining specimens listed below, we did not obtain DNA Barcodes. In spite of the absence of further specimens for comparison, especially females, and the lack of convincing morphological differences, we are not going to describe these possibly distinct species here. This complex needs further study. Material examined. KENYA. 1♂ Rift Valley, Naivasha, 1900m, 0°46'56"S 36°25'23"E , 5.xii.2011, leg. D.J.L. Agassiz, prep. DJLA 1318 (coll.
