Remarks. The species was originally described on the basis of specimens from Angola ( Harold 1879; Antoine 2000), but is also known from DOC ( Beinhundner 2017a). The adult specimens from Chianga were found on Pandiaka welwitschii (Amaranthaceae) and Monotes calomerus (label information).The adult specimen of Capin-gana–Satchijamba was captured on a yellow flower and the Carima adult specimens were sampled feeding on the basis of tomentose leafs of spontaneous herbaceous plants ( Fig. 9a View FIGURE 9 ), all from secondary open forests. In the latter locality ( Fig. 10a View FIGURE 10 ), the species was abundant and syntopic with Leucocelis (Leucocelis) haemorrhoidalis (Fabricius, 1775) , Plagiochilus angustatus (Westwood, 1873) and Cymophorus sp. It is a new species record for the Benguela, Bié and Huambo Provinces.
