Genus Pachnoda Burmeister, 1842

The genus is very speciose with almost 120 species ( Beinhundner 2017a). It was revised by Rigout (1989), but against the recommendation done by Holm & Marais (1992) that “In general Pachnoda …is an extremely difficult genus to deal with, and new descriptions are very inadvisable before the existing relationships and clines are fully understood”, many species/subspecies have been described ever since (e.g. Rigout & Allard 1992; Beinhundner 1992, 1997, 2006b, 2013, 2015; Legrand 1993; Devecis 2001; Antoine 2000, 2009b, 2011; Le Gall 2015; Di Gennaro 2016, 2017). There are twelve species and eight subspecies recorded for Angola ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882; Gomes Alves 1959, 1973; Ferreira 1965; Antoine 2000; Beinhundner 2017a; Schoolmeesters 2018). We give one new species record to the Angolan entomofauna in this work.
