Remarks. This is an enigmatic taxon. We did not find any record in Marais & Holm (1992), Sakai & Nagai (1998), Krajcik (2008a) or Beinhundner (2017a). The subspecies was briefly described by Schauer (1941) in a key of the representatives of the genus Smaragdesthes . While Beinhundner (2017a) considers C. smaragdina as a subspecies of C. africana, Schoolmeesters (2018) lists it as a valid species. Chlorocala smaragdina angolensis seems to be an endemic subspecies of Angola (Schauer 1941), but the validity of the taxon is dubious. The larva of the third instar of C. smaragdina was described by Jerath & Unny (1965). Ecological data are not available for this subspecies.
