Material examined. Caála (12° 51´11´´ S, 15° 33´07´´ E, 1758 m alt., 256) (HUAMBO), 3.XI.2015, 1♀, 4.XI.2015, 1♂, 5.XI.2015, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC GoogleMaps .

Remarks. A species with a distribution in southern and eastern Africa ( Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique), but recorded also to Yemen (Insectoid.info 2017). Adult specimens fit well the descrition of this species, including the aedeagus conformation ( Basilewsky 1950b). Adults were found on ground during night near public lights (e.g. see comments on C. rikatlensis remarks). It is a new species record for Angola.
