Homogyna Le Cerf, 1911 View in CoL
This genus and its type species Homogyna alluaudi Le Cerf (1911) were described on the basis of a single male from “Boura, Wa-Taita” [southeastern Kenya, Taita Hills, Bura]. Hampson (1919) assigned additional species to the genus, mainly of South African origin. Gorbunov & Arita (1998) provided a revision of the genus solely based on the type species and placed it in the tribe Osminiini . Bartsch (2016) published a broader definition of the genus, divided it into two main species groups, the H. pygmaea (Rebel, 1899) group and the H. xanthophora ( Hampson, 1919) group, described three new species and presented an identification key. Currently Homogyna includes ten species.
