Treatment

Trichopisthia igneotincta ( Aurivillius, 1909)

( Figs 65–69 View FIGURES 60–69 )

[4A]— 31♂♂ 4♀♀; [4B]— 3♂♂; [4E]— 5♂♂ 1♀; [4F]— 4♂♂; [4G]— 1♂; [4H]— 4♂♂; [4I]— 1♂; [4K]— 1♂.

Remarks. Three barcoded specimens from MSR with varying colouration and pattern were recovered in the same BIN (BOLD:AAJ8392) supporting the viewpoint of both Aurivillius (1927) and Pinhey (1975) that T. igneotincta is a single variable species. It is worth noting that specimens from southern Africa (southern Zambia, Mozambique and South Africa) are generally smaller than those from northern Zambia and Tanzania.
