Description

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.
