Trichostola capensis Lefèvre, 1890 Lucignolo capensis is a species of leaf beetle endemic to South Africa, and the only member of the genus Lucignolo.

[3] It was first described by Édouard Lefèvre in 1890 as a species of the genus Trichostola.

It was later found to be closely related to Odontionopa, and was placed in its own genus by Stefano Zoia in 2010.

[2] The genus is named after Lucignolo (or "Candlewick"), a character from Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio.

This name refers to the shiny, delicate body of L. capensis.
