* Polystalactica (Trichocelis) jossoi Rojkoff, 2016

( Fig. 7h )

Distribution: ANG, ZAM.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2) BIE.

Historic records: none.

Material examined: Satchijamba (13º 44´54.69´´ S, 17º 10´35.03´´ E, 1579 m alt., 303) (BIE), 3.XI.2014, 1♀, BT, A. Serrano leg. & R. Capela, ASC .

Remarks. The species was only known until now from ZAM ( Rojkoff 2016b, Beinhundner 2017a). The Satchijamba adult specimen fits well the original description of this species ( Rojkoff 2016b). It was sampled by BT ( Fig. 1a ) in a secondary open forest. See also the remarks under Chlorocala africana mutica . Additional ecological data are available in Rojkoff (2016b). It is a new subgenus and species record for Angola and Bié Province.
