Genus Eudicella White, 1839

The genus in the strict sense was revised by De Palma (2009), who provided an identification key. One year after, De Palma (2010) provides a new dichotomic key to all Eudicella sensu stricto. According to this work fourteen species and two subspecies remain valid. However, Beinhundner (2017a) recognized nineteen species as valid. The genus Cyprolais J. Thomson, 1880 was revised by Holm (1993b) who relegated it to the level of subgenus of Eudicella , a status followed by De Palma (2009) and Beinhundner (2017a). Oram (2015) says ” Cyprolais J. Thomson, 1880 is usually treated as a subgenus of Eudicella (e.g. Krajcik, 2008…)”. However, Krajcik (2008a) raised the taxon to the genus level. Beinhundner (2017a) recognized fifteen species in Cyprolais subgenus. Two species of Eudicella (Eudicella) were recorded for Angola ( Ferreira 1965; Beinhundner 2017a) and other two species of Eudicella (Cy- prolais) ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882; Ferreira 1965), but one must be considered with caution.
