Phonotaenia balteata (De Geer, 1778)

( Figs. 7b, c, d, e View FIGURE 7 )

Distribution: ANG, BEN, BOW, DOC, MAW, MOZ, NAB, RSA, ZAM, ZIM.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) MAL; 2) LUA.

Historic records:

—Duque de Bragança (=Calandula or Kalandula) (MAL) ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882 sub Gametis aequinoctialis Ol. ).

Material examined: Angola, 2 exs, Nº 1907 (blue labels), nºs 149 and 151 (white labels), 2 exs, Nº 1907 (blue labels), sub Gametis aequinoctialis Oliv. , old collection, box nº IX-78, MZUC; Luanda (8º 50´S, 13º 15´E, 70 m alt., 89) ( LUA), 15.VII.1972, 1 ex., nº4356, A. Bivar de Sousa leg., ABSC, MUHNAC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. Paulino de Oliveira (1882) registered Gametis aequinoctialis for Angola, but probably was a misinterpretation with P. balteata . The four specimens of Angola deposited in the “old collection” of MZUC belong to this species. The specimens present some variation in the general elytral drawing pattern colour, some looking Phonotaenia balteata zanzibarica (Raffray, 1877) or even Phonotaenia camiadei Antoine, 2005 , with the pronotum always black with white lateral margins ( Figs. 7 View FIGURE 7 b–e). Unfortunately, the specimens are very old, precluding the extraction of the parameres. Ecological data are available in Holm & Marais (1992) and Malec & Šípek (2016). A

basic guideline to captive breeding was provided by Malec & Šípek (2016). It is a new species record for the Luanda Province.
