( Figs. 26f, g View FIGURE 26 )

Distribution: ANG, BEN, CAM, CON, DOC, GAB, KEN, NRE, RCA, RCH, RRW, UGA.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) CAB.

Historic records:

— Cabinda (CAB) ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882 sub Goliathus giganteus Lam., 1817 ).

Material examined: Cabinda (coords not available) ( CAB), 1♂, 1♀, 27.VI.1967, DAF, nº 9425, JPCC, MUH- NAC .

Remarks. The species was recorded for Angola ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882) based on specimen(s) deposited in the old entomological collections of the “Museu e Laboratório de Zoologia e Antropologia (Museu Bocage)”, Lisboa. The two adult specimens from Cabinda in MUHNAC confirm its presence in Angola.The larva was described by Vendl & Šípek (2016). Biological and ecological notes on this species are summarized in Wiebes (1968). De Palma et al. (2020) ranked subspecifically Goliathus meleagris Sjöstedt, 1927 under G. goliathus , referring that this new subspecies occurs in the Miombo woodlands of southern D. R. of Congo, and neighbouring areas of Angola (northeast) and Zambia. However, in this work they do not studied any Angolan specimen, as well as they did not indicate any locality where the subspecies was found in Angola.
