Sepsina angolensis Bocage, 1866

Material (one specimen): One adult specimen (MHNCUP/REP 345, formerly UP-MHNFCP-017384; Fig. S38 ), collected from Zembe [-9.31667º, 14.66667º, 539 m a.s.l.] Kwanza Norte Province, in September 1903 .

Comments: Sepsina angolensis is known from Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, northern Namibia and Zambia ( Ceríaco et al. 2018a; Marques et al. 2018). Ferreira (1904) published two adult specimens of S. angolensis from “Catete” and “Zembe” (MHNCUP/REP 345). Additionally, Ferreira (1906) also cited an adult specimen of “ Sepsina bayoni ” Bocage, 1866 from Golungo Alto (Kwanza Norte Province) that we were unable to locate. S. angolensis is the type species of its genus ( Bocage 1866).
