Remarks
. The complete occipital carina and the characters of the forewing place this species within
Dryinus
. For this reason, a new combination for
Lestodryinus luweli
is presented above (
Lestodryinus
and
Dryinus
are synonyms). In the Afrotropical region, the genus
Dryinus
is divided into three groups based on
♀♀
. The
♀
of this species is unknown, so that it is impossible to place it in a group. Out of necessity it has to be included among the
incertae sedis
species.
