Chondrorrhina (Plaesiorrhinella) plana plana (Wiedmann, 1821)

( Fig. 19i )

Distribution: ANG (?), RSA, ZIM.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1)?

Historic records:

— Angola (without locality) ( Ferreira 1965 sub Plaesiorrhina recurva var. plana Wiedmann ).

Material examined: Angola, 1♂, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 120 (white label), Welwitsch leg., old collection, box nº VI-75, MZUC .

Remarks. Beinhundner (2017a) lists three subspecies in this taxon, but Krajcik (2008a) only considers the nominal. Taking into account its distribution ( Allard 1991; Holm & Marais 1992), the Angolan record ( Ferreira 1965) should be considered with some caution. However, we checked one adult specimen from Angola deposited in the old collection of MZUC which can be ascribed to this species ( Fig. 19i ). Biological and ecological data were provided by Donaldson (1987), Donaldson & van Todner (1992) and Holm & Marais (1992). Taking into account the artificial breeding conditions, Malec & Šípek (2017) included this species in their group 2.
