Distribution: ANG, DOC.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2) LNO.

Historic records: none

Material examined: Dundo (7º 22´S, 20º 50´E, 1470 m alt., 51) ( LNO), 2.V.1946, 1 ♀, Nº 663, Junta de Inves- tigações Coloniais (Entomologia), IICT, MUHNAC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. A species belonging to the C. sulcatus group (sensu Schein 1954a). It was described based on one female from DOC ( Schein 1954a) and was known until now only for this country ( Schein 1954a; Krajcik 2008b). The adult female specimen of IICT fits well this species description. Biological and ecological data are not available for the species, but see Mudge et al. (2012) for general comments on habitat preference and abundance of some species of this genus in Ghana. See also general comments in Schein (1954a) and the remarks under the genus Coenochilus . It is a new species record for Angola and Lunda Norte Province.
