Comment. Colophon eastmani and C. nagaii are localised on mountain peaks of the same chain (Langeberg Mountains) about 30 km apart with no suitable habitat between. Although morphological differences between the two taxa are slight, albeit distinct, genetic distance between them is significant (pairwise distance of 9.6% for CO1; and in the same order, 8.1–10.7%, for well-defined related species ( Switala et al. 2014). Consequently, we elevate C. eastmani nagaii to species level, as C. nagaii and C. eastmani eastmani to species level, as C. eastmani .
