Catalebeda cuneilinea ( Walker, 1856)

( Figs 58–59 )

[3D]— 1♂; [3E]— 3♂♂; [4E]— 5♂♂; [4F]— 9♂♂; [4G]— 1♂; [4H]— 6♂♂; [4J]— 5♂♂.

Remarks. Based on three specimens with identical barcodes from MSR, this species appears to be highly variable both in size and colour. A single Tanzanian specimen from near the type locality of C. strandi Aurivillius, 1927 was recovered in the same BIN (BOLD:AAL9879) and it is possible that it is merely a form; however without examination of the primary type, no formal nomenclatural acts are made.
