Remarks
. Dissections of specimens referable to
Sena donaldsoni
(
Holland
, 1897
) with minimal barcode divergences from northern
Tanzania
and MSR revealed near identical male genital configurations and the southern taxon
marshalli
, previously treated as a form (
Aurivillius 1927
), synonym (
Pinhey 1975
) and a subspecies (
Vári
et al
. 2002
) of
S. donaldsoni
, is at most subspecific. The barcoded MSR specimens fell into a BIN (BOLD:ACF5827) containing specimens from
South Africa
and it is possible that
Sena breyeri
(
Aurivillius, 1922
)
is synonymous with
marshalli
.
