Remarks.
As the precedent subspecies, this was not reported for
Angola
by
Beinhundner (2017a)
and
Schoolmeesters (2018)
. However,
Ruter (1958)
quotes with some doubt a female specimen of
Angola
deposited in “Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle de Paris” to this subspecies. The male specimen sampled in Carima (
Fig. 5d
) fits very well the morphological description, including the parameres features (
Fig. 5e
) indicated by
Ruter (1958)
(see also
Rigout 1989
). It was sampled by CT in an open secondary forest together with
Chlorocala africana mutica
(
Harold, 1878
)
,
Chondrorrhina
(
Chondrorrhina
)
picturata
(
Harold, 1878
)
and
Tmesorrhina tridens
Duvier, 1891
. Biological and ecological data are not available for this species. It is a new record for the
Malanje Province
.
