Phonotaenia scalaris scalaris ( Gory & Percheron, 1833)

( Fig. 7f View FIGURE 7 )

Distribution: ANG, BEN, CAM, CON, DOC, GAB, GHA, KEN, RCA, RRW, TOG, UGA.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) CUS, LNO.

Historic records:

— Angola (without locality) ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882 sub Gametis scalaris Gory & Perch. );

— Luanda: rio Muka (not LUA, but LNO) ( Gomes Alves 1959; Ferreira 1965; see Remarks);

— Kwanza Sul (without locality) (CUS), Dundo (LNO) ( Antoine 2005a).

Material examined: Muita River (Luembe) (07º 48´S, 21º 26´E, 1260 m alt., 69) ( LNO), -. VI.1948, 1 ex., Nº 2137, Junta de Investigações Coloniais (Entomologia), IICT, MUHNAC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. The adult specimen of Luembe was sampled in a forest (registered information). Gomes Alves (1959) recorded this specimen for River Muka (Luanda Province), but it was an erroneous interpretation of the register book of IICT which gives the following information: “Rio Muka (afluente do Luembe—Lunda NE)”= [Muka River (tributary of Luembe—Lunda NE]. The true tributary of Luembe (River) is Muita River, not Muka River. Moreover, the reference to Lunda NE reinforces this interpretation. Some ecological remarks were provided for the subspecies Phonotaenia scalaris latefasciata Moser, 1910 in Sierra Leone by Malec (2015).
