Genus Leucocelis Burmeister, 1842

This is one of the most speciose genus in Africa with almost 100 described species in three subgenera ( Beinhundner 2017a). The genus was treated by Ruter (1967a) and later Antoine (1997, 2002a, 2006b) re-arranged its systematic, giving numerous synonymies. A total of six species/subspecies were given for Angola within Leucocelis (Leucocelis) and two species within Leucocelis (Amauroleucocelis) Bourgoin, 1913 subgenera ( Beinhundner 2017a). We add four new records in Leucocelis (Leucocelis) for this country.
