Genus Homaloxestis Meyrick, 1910 View in CoL

Four species have been reported from Africa: H. cholopis Meyrick View in CoL from South Africa, H. hemigastra Meyrick View in CoL from Uganda, H. pancrocopa Meyrick from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and H. subpallida Meyrick View in CoL from Cameroon.
