Genus Goliathus Lamarck, 1801

The genus was revised by Lachaume (1983) and very recently by De Palma et al. (2020). Beinhundner (2017a) and De Palma et al. (2020) recognized five valid species. There is one species known from Angola (Paulino de Oliveira 1882), but curiously since Paulino de Oliveira’s work it was not mentioned for this country in any catalogue (e.g. Ferreira 1965; Lachaume 1983; Krajcik 2008a; Beinhundner 2017a).
