Dracontogena lucki Karisch, 2005

( Figs. 76, 77 )

Dracontogena lucki Karisch 2005: 463 , text fig. 16, pl. 1, fig. 6.

Type material. Holotype, Ƥ, KENYA: Mugaga, vi.1968, E.S Brown, genitalia slide BMNH 30598 ( BMNH).

Diagnosis. Wingspan 28.0 mm. The forewing has the typical Dracontogena pattern, blackish brown with two white, triangular marks on the dorsum. The female genitalia resemble those of D. kingstoni n. sp. with a large oval sterigma, but differ from the latter by the lack of a broad sclerotised lateral edge of sterigma and paired sclerites posterior of the sterigma.

Remarks. Known only from the holotype. Judging from the genitalia, it appears to be closely related with D. kingstoni n. sp.
