Kimbundo (= Mona Quimbundo) (09° 51’ S, 19°58’ E) ( MAL) ( De Palma & Frantz 2010) GoogleMaps .

Material examined: none.

Remarks. Seven subspecies are recognized in the species ( Beinhundner 2017a).This subspecies was originally described from Angola, but curiously Beinhundner (2014b, 2017a) does not include Angola in its distribution. Krajcik (2008a) treated it as a synonym of Mecynorhina (Megalorrhina) harrisi Westwood, 1847 , but both De Palma & Frantz (2010) and Beinhundner (2014b, 2017a) regard it as a valid taxon. The larva of the third instar of nominal subspecies was described by Šípek (2005). Ecological data were provided by De Palma & Frantz (2010).
