Chondrorrhina (Plaesiorrhinella) cinctuta cinctuta (Voet, 1779)

( Figs. 19f, g View FIGURE 19 )

Distribution: ANG, CAM, CON, DOC, ETI, SEN, UGA.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) CAB, MAL.

Historic records:

—Quilo River (CAB), Duque de Bragança (=Calandula) (MAL) ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882 sub Heterorrhina cincta Voet );

Material examined: Duque de Bragança (=Calandula) (09º 08´S, 15º 57´E, 1110 m alt., 112) ( MAL), 1 ♂, Nº 2131 (blue label), old collection, box nº VI-75, MZUC; Quilo River (= Chiloango River Mouth ) (05º 11´S, 12º 08´E, sea alt., 5) ( CAB), 1 ♂, Nº 1895 (blue label), nº 119 (white label), Anchieta leg., old collection, box nº VI-75, MZUC; Angola, 1♂, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 63 (white label), Anchieta leg., old collection, box nº VI-75, MZUC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. A controversial polytypic species with several polychromatic forms (e.g. Allard 1991; Sakai & Nagai 1998; Krajcik 2008a). Curiously, Krajcik (2008a) recognize only the nominal form and one subspecies, but Beinhundner (2017a) lists six subspecies. Holm & Marais (1992) in relation to this species and close congeners referred “whether these are good species or a subspecies cline must still be resolved”. The nominal C. (P.) cinctuta cinctuta seems to occur from Cameroon to Angola ( Allard 1991; Le Gall 2015; Beinhundner 2017a), but Schoolmeesters (2018) presents a quite different distribution (ERI, ETI, SEN, UGA). Two polychromatic forms of adult specimens from MZUC are given ( Figs. 19f, g View FIGURE 19 ). Ecological data are not available for this species.
