Remarks. Our specimens conform well to the Holm (1994) redescription. Adult specimens were collected on yellow flowers (Somakwanza) and by CT and BT ( Figs. 1a, b ) in secondary open forests (Satchijamba and Mumbué). See also the remarks under Pachnoda discolour kolbei . Considering the large series of specimens obtained, it seems to be a common species. Additional ecological data are available in Holm & Marais (1992). It is a new record for the Bié and Malanje Provinces.
