Grayia smythii (Leach, 1818)

Material (one specimen): One adult specimen (MHNCUP/ REP 196 View Materials , formerly UP-MHNFCP-017398; Fig. S73 View FIGURE S ), collected from Cambondo [-9.16349º, 14.66432º, 394 m a.s.l.] Kwanza Norte Province, date unknown .

Comments: Grayia smythii is a species found north into southern Sudan, Lake Victoria west to Senegal and southwest to northern Angola ( Marques et al. 2018). The label present in the jar reads “ Grayia smithi ” but has no information about its collecting locality. Ferreira (1906) cited a specimen from “Cambondo” which most likely represents this specimen. It is considered a rare species in the country with a limited number of records ( Branch 2018; Marques et al. 2018).
