Distribution: ANG (?), RSA.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) MOX.

Historic records:

— Zambeze (= Luena River) ( MOX) ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882 sub Heterorrhina flavomaculata F.) .

Material examined: none.

Remarks. The species is distributed throughout RSA ( Holm & Marais 1992; Beinhundner 2017a) and recorded for Angola by Paulino de Oliveira (1882). Its known distribution is more southern and eastern than the other species of the genus. The Zambeze locality given by Paulino de Oliveira (1882) is close to the Luena River near the Zambia border in Moxico Province. Eventually, the species was misinterpreted with the next species. The larvae of all instars of this species were described by Donaldson (1987). Ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992) and Malec & Šípek (2017) referred that the species is easily reproduced in captivity.
