* Anisorrhina (Anisorrhina) laeviplaga laeviplaga (Raffray, 1877)

( Figs. 17c, d View FIGURE 17 )

Distribution: ANG, DOC, KEN, MAW, TAN, ZAM, ZIM.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2) BIE.

Historic records: none.

Material examined: Mumbué (Cuanza riverhead) (13º 49´39.97´´ S, 17º 19´20.32´´ E, 1524 m alt., 303) (BIE), 3–9.IV.2014, 1♀, CT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC; Mumbué (13º 52´39.54´´ S, 17º´17´23.16´´ E, 1535m alt., 303) (BIE), 7.IV.2014, 1♀, 9.IV.2014, 1♂, BT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. Three subspecies are recognized in this taxon. Our specimens from Mumbué region fit very well the description and the parameres given by Holm (1993a) and Antoine (2000) for this species ( Figs. 17c, d View FIGURE 17 ). The habitus is similar to the ones given in figures 21–25 of Beinhundner (2017a, p. 740). Holm (1993a) considered the species as a subspecies of A. flavomaculata , but Antoine (2000) elevated it to the species level rank, a criterion followed here. The adult specimens were collected by BT and CT in secondary open forests together with Cyprolais loricata (Janson, 1877) (Cuanza riverhead). See also the remarks under Anisorrhina (Anisorrhina) flavomaculata . It is a new species record for Angola and the Bié Province.
