Material (seventeen specimens): Five juvenile and seven adult specimens (MHNCUP/REP 236–247; Fig. S35 View FIGURE S ), collected from unknown locality, date unknown; one adult specimen (MHNCUP/REP 248, formerly UP-MHNFCP- 017368), collected from Catari [-9.09548º, 15.41905º, 1022 m a.s.l.] Kwanza Norte Province, in September 1903 ; one adult and two juvenile specimens (MHNCUP/REP 249–251, formerly UP-MHNFCP-017367 and UP-MHNFCP- 017372), collected from Zembe [-9.31667º, 14.66667º, 539 m a.s.l.] Kwanza Norte Province, in September 1903 ; one adult specimen (MHNCUP/REP 252, formerly UP-MHNFCP-017369), collected from Caculo, Cazengo [- 9.25921º, 13.82048º, 8 m a.s.l.] Bengo Province, in November 1903 .
Comments: Feylinia currori is a species known from northern Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Kenya and Nigeria ( Marques et al. 2018) that occurs in forest, woodland and high elevation savanna habitats ( Wagner & Schmitz 2006). A revision of the genus was published by Brygoo & Roux-Estève (1983), where the authors recognized six valid species and designated a lectotype for F. currori . Ferreira (1904) cited a “large number of specimens, ranging from very young juveniles to larger adults” (translated by the authors from the original in Portuguese) from “N’dalla Tando”, “Zembe”, “Catari” and “Bom Jesus (Quanza)”. Specimens MHNCUP/REP 248 and MHNCUP/REP 249–251 match the cited ones from “Catari” and “Zembe” respectively. It is possible that the remaining specimens with no locality attached correspond to the remaining specimens cited by Ferreira (1904).
