* Tetragonorrhina induta (Janson, 1877)

( Figs. 16i , 17a )

Distribution: ANG, KEN, MAW, MOZ, RSA, TAN.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2) CNN.

Historic records: none.

Material examined: Humbe (16º 41´S, 14º 54´E, 1100 m alt., 422) ( CNN), 2 ♂, Nº 1895 (blue labels), Anchieta leg., old collection, box nº VI-75, MZUC; Angola, 1 ♀, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 157 (white label), old collection, box nº XIV-83, MZUC .

Remarks. The adult specimens of MZUC fit very well this species (e.g. all costae are very discernible and well marked cretaceous spots on elytra are present) ( Figs. 16i , 17a ). Taking into account its occurrence near the southeastern border of Angola, it is not strange its presence in the southernmost territory of this country (Humbe). The species is replaced in Namibia by other species of the genus ( Tetragonorrhina peringueyi Holm & Marais, 1992 ). Holm & Marais (1992) provided some ecological data for the species. It is a new genus/species record for Angola and the Cunene Province.
