Abstract

Two species of the genus Phytodietus Gravenhorst, 1829 are recorded from Kenya: the previously documented P. (Phytodietus) varicolor Seyrig, 1935 and a newly described P. (Weisia) kasarani sp. n. A key to the Afrotropical Phytodietus species of the subgenus Weisia Schmiedeknecht, 1907 is provided.
