Genus Coenochilus Schaum, 1841

Some Cremastocheilini View in CoL to which this and other genera belong (e.g. Anatonochilus Péringuey, 1907 , Cymophorus Kirby, 1827 , Plagiochilus Wasmann, 1900 , Trogodes Westwood in Boheman, 1857 , Spilophorus Westwood in Schaum, 1848 ) are a group of Cetoniinae that are reported to be myrmecophilous or termitophilous (e.g. Schein 1954a) and, as adults, with some exceptions, are mainly active at night ( Holm & Perissinotto 2010). Some species are also predators of ant larvae (e.g. see Ghorpade 1975; Mynhardt & Wenzel 2010). The genus Coenochilus is the most speciose with about 100 species distributed throughout the Afrotropical, Oriental and Palaearctic Regions ( Krajcik 2008b). Schein (1954a) revised the 41 African species known by that time and defined seven groups within the genus. There are about 48 species recognized for the former Region ( Schoolmeesters 2018), eight of them previously recorded for Angola ( Schein 1954a; Ferreira 1965). We give two new species records for this country.
