Distribution: ANG, DOC. Distribution in Angola(Provinces):2) CUS. Historic records:none.
Material examined: Mussende (Calulo) ( 9º 57´00´´ S, 14º 47´36´´ E, 905malt., 128) ( CUS), 28.XI.-5.XII.2015, 10♂, 1♀, CT, 30.XI.2015, 1♀, BT, A. Serrano& R. Capelaleg., ASC; Calulo (Fazenda Klein) ( 10º 02´14´´ S, 14º 54´38´´ E, 1059 malt., 147) ( CUS), 6–11.XII.2017, 7♂, 2♀, CT, A. Serrano& R. Capelaleg., ASC; Calulo (Faz. Monte Café) ( 09º 59´15´´ S, 14º 50´12´´ E, 1086 malt., 128) ( CUS), 6–11.XII.2017, 5♂, 1♀, CT, A. Serrano& R. Capelaleg., ASC.
Remarks.Two subspecies are recognized in T. laeta. Both are known from DOC ( Krajcik 2008a, Beinhundner 2017a). The adult specimens of Calulo ( Figs. 25h, i, 26a) fit very well the mesosternal process and parameres conformations of this subspecies ( Figs. 7, 8in Antoine 2002a). Tmesorrhina laeta burgeonipresents coloration darker than the nominal subspecies. The adult specimens could be ascribed to T. garnieri Allard, 1993, but the parameres are slightly different. Moreover, Calulo specimens present the elytra almost smooth, not deeply striated punctuated as in the latter species ( Allard 1993). The adult specimens were sampled by means of BT and CT within secondary moist forest. See also the remarks under Chlorocala africana mutica. It is a new species/subspecies record for Angolaand the Kwanza Sul Province.
