Remarks. The species was restablished by Antoine (2006b). The adult female specimen of Satchijamba fits

very well with the description given by Antoine (2006b) and the parameres of the adult male specimen conforms with the same structures of L. vitticollis (Boheman, 1857) given by Holm & Marais (1992), a species which was synonymized with L. niveoguttata by Antoine (2006b). The Satchijamba adult specimens were sampled by BT and CT ( Figs. 1a, b View FIGURE 1 ) in an open secondary forest. See also remarks under Pachnoda discolour kolbei . Ecological data were provided for the species (under the name of L. vitticollis ) by Holm & Marais (1992). It is a new species record for Angola and Bié and Huíla Provinces.
