Katongo”. Plateau around Mbuye-Bala (or Buye-Bala) stream, of 1750 maltitude, is located in Upemba National Park, a large national park in Katanga Province of the southeastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Description (in part, see Basilewsky 1987: 192). “This species occurs in wide areal of Angola and Congo with a definite clinal variability. Nominotypical subspecies,  C. m. magnicollis( Quedenfeldt, 1883), was based on specimens from central Angola (recently Malanje Province), and recorded in Kalukembe (Huila Province) by Burgeon (1935a: 387)and south-easterly of Lobito (Benguela Province) by dr. Monard. It is mainly characterised by elytral colouration with humeral elytral maculae very large, reaching from III to IX interval, prolonged very close to base and reaching to midlength of its elytra. Some similar specimens were quite frequently collected also in extreme South-West of Shaba (Jadotville, Elisabethville regions [= Likasi, Lubumbashi, Katanga Province, DR Congo]).” In the Lulua River and Upemba regions occurs a particularly different form of  C. magnicollis, wich differs from previous subspecies by elytral colouration with maculae, distinctly smaller, humeral macula reaching hardly to basal third of the elytron. This difference is constantly present by all specimens I have seen and that is why I consider it different subspecies, denominated  C. magnicollis discrepans   ssp. nov. Burgeon (1935a: 387)anticipated any difference between specimen from Kalukembe [(Huila, Angola) and the single specimen from Sandoa [(Katanga, DRC). Three specimens from Abercorn (Zambia), wich is located not too far from Upemba, seems to be equal with this subspecies” [from French].   Distribution. DR Congo: Kasaï-Occidental, KatangaProvinces; northern Zambia.
