Material examined: Angola, 1 ♂, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 48 (white label), 1 ♂, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 51 (white label), 1 ♀, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 53 (white label), old collection, box nº IX-78, MZUC ; Angola, 1 ♂, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 50 (white label), Welwitsch leg., old collection, box nºVI-75, MZUC; Salazar (=Ndalatando) (9º 18´S, 14º 55´E, 790 m alt., 110) ( CNO), 1.IV.1973, 1♂, nº 20576, A. Bivar de Sousa leg., ABSC, MUHNAC .

Remarks. A polytypic species with five recognized subspecies ( Krajcik 2008a; Beinhundner 2017a). The male adult specimen of ABSC fits well this species description as well as the adult specimens of MZUC ( Figs. 25 d–f). It is possible that the adult specimens deposited in MZUC had been misinterpreted by Paulino de Oliveira with next species. Ecological data are not available for this species. It is a new species record for Angola and the Kwanza Norte Province.
