Genus Limnesia Koch, 1836

Members of both the subgenera of Limnesia previously recorded from the islands were found in the collection. Verification of the identifications through the examination of male specimens from the collecting areas in question is desirable. Furthermore, these taxa need revision, including populations from continental Africa, where numerous more or less doubtful (sub)species have since been described.
