Genus Atrichelaphinis Kraatz, 1898

The genus was recently revised by Rojkoff & Perissinotto (2015). They recognized two valid species in the nominal subgenus, three species in the subgenus Heterelaphinis Antoine, 2002 and eight species within subgenus Eugeaphinis Rojkoff & Perissinotto, 2015 . There are one species and one subspecies recorded for Angola, respectively within the nominal and Eugeaphinis subgenera ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882; Rojkoff & Perissinotto 2015). A new species within the nominal subgenus is added in this work.

* Atrichelaphinis (Atrichelaphinis) nigropunctulata (Péringuey, 1896)

( Figs. 2b, c View FIGURE 2 )

Distribution: ANG, RSA.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2)?

Historic records: none.

Material examined: Angola, 2 exs, Nº 1907 (blue labels), nº 144 (white labels), old collection, box nº XIV-83, MZUC.

Remarks. The species is only known from RSA (Rojkoff & Perissinoto 2015), but the adult specimens of MZUC fit very well its description (e.g. pygidium asetose with scattered crescent sculpture and first two elytral striae with single grooves). Unfortunately, both adult specimens do not present any indication on the locality(ies) where they were collected in Angola. Ecological notes were provided by Holm & Marais (1992) and Rojkoff & Perissinoto (2015). It is a new record for Angola.
