Anisorrhina (Melinesthes) umbonata ( Gory & Percheron, 1833)

Distribution: ANG (?), RSA.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) CUS (?), MOX.

Historic records:

— Angola (without locality) ( Gory & Percheron 1833 sub Gnathocera umbonata );

— Zambeze (= Luena River) ( MOX) ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882, sub Heterorrhina umbonata Perch. ) ;

— Angola (without locality) ( Krikken 1987 sub Melinesthes umbonata Gory & Percheron ).

Material examined: none.

Remarks. A species distributed in RSA ( Holm & Marais 1992), but recorded for Angola also ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882). Other records for Angola did not give exact locality(ies) ( Gory & Percheron 1833; Krikken 1987). It could be misinterpreted with some other close species. Ecological data are available in Holm & Marais (1992) and Malec & Šípek (2016). A basic guideline to captive breeding was also provided by Malec & Šípek (2016, 2017).
