— Cabinda (CAB), Cazengo (CNO) ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882 sub Ceratorrhina polyphemus F.);

—Dundo (LNO) ( Ferreira 1965 sub Chelorrhina polyphemus F.).

Remarks. There is some controversy on the distribution of this species (see Beinhundner 2017a; Schoolmeesters 2018). It seems represented in the northern territory of Angola ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882; Ferreira 1965). The species is well-known and biological data were recently provided by Šípek (2010) and Christiansen (2013).
