* Trogodes (Trogodes) rotundicollis Westwood, 1857

( Figs. 14g, h, i )

Distribution: ANG, RSA, DOC, TAN, ZAM, ZIM.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2) BIE, HUI.

Historic records: none.

Material examined: Huilla (= Huíla) (15º 05´S, 13º 33´E, 1720 m alt., 356) ( HUI), 1 ex., Lobo d`Avila leg., old collection, box nº VI-75, MZUC; Trumba (12º 11´50.47´´ S, 17º 00´7.22´´ E, 1674 m alt., 235) (BIE), 28.XI.2017, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano leg., ASC .

Remarks. The adult specimem of MZUC and the adult female specimen of Trumba fit well the description of the species, presenting in each side of the pronotal disk one small smooth plate and the absence of posterior angles. However, the schematic outline of pronotum with the anterior angles obtuse (dorsal view) given by Rojkoff (2011b, Fig. 6 ) does not conform with the same structure of our specimens (anterior angles acute, Fig. 14i ).The adult specimen of Trumba was captured on sandy whitish soil in a secondary open forest. Biological and ecological data are not available for the species, but see general comments on the genus Coenochilus . It is a new species record for Angola and the Bié and Huíla Provinces.
