Remarks. Despite the species be known for Angola since a long time ago (e.g. Bourgoin 1925), both Beinhundner (2017a) and Schoolmeesters (2018) do not consider its presence in that country. All the examined specimens fit the mesotibial character (only one tooth on the external margin) proper of this species ( Rigout & Allard 1992). The adult specimens from Chianga were collected on bean plants (label information). The Mussende adult specimen was sampled by BT in a secondary moist forest together with Lophorrhina quinquelineata (Fabricius, 1791) , Tmesorrhina laeta burgeoni Allard, 1991 and Myodermum alutaceum (Afzelius, 1817) . The larva of this species was described by Oberholzer (1959). Ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992), but see Malec & Šípek (2016) for breeding habits also. It is a new record for the Bié, Huambo, Kwanza Sul, Lunda Sul and Moxico Provinces.
