Genus Discopeltis Burmeister, 1842

Holm (1991c) provided a diagnosis of the genus, a key to the eight known species, information on their types and distribution patterns. Since this date some species were restablished as bona species and a total of sixteen species are now recognized (see updates in Beinhundner 2017a). Only one species was recorded for Angola until now (Ferreira 1965, Beinhundner 2017a) and another one is recorded here for the first time.
