* Oxythyrea (Oxythyrea) sp.

( Figs. 11d, e, f, g )

Distribution: ANG, GAM, GBI, SEN, SLN.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2)?

Historic records: none.

Material examined: Angola, 1 ♂, Nº 1907 (blue label), old collection, box nº XIV-83, MZUC .

Remarks. The habitus and parameres conformation of the Angolan male adult specimen deposited in MZUC fit well some features of Oxythyrea (Oxythyrea) petit ( Gory & Percheron, 1833) (e.g. cf. Antoine 1997, Fig. 27 with Fig. 11f ). However, taking into account the advised of S. Rojkoff (personal communication) for the possibility that the specimen should belong to a new species under description we do not ascribe its identification to that species. Once again, unfortunately we have no information on the localization in Angola of this specimen. Ecological data

were provided by Holm & Marais (1992) for the closer species Oxythyrea marginallis (Swartz, 1817) and Oxythyrea testaceogutttata (Blanchard, 1850) . It is a new genus record for Angola.
