Remarks. Seven subspecies are recognized in the species (Beinhundner 2017a).This subspecies was originally described from Angola, but curiously Beinhundner (2014b, 2017a) does not include Angola in its distribution. Krajcik (2008a) treated it as a synonym of Mecynorhina (Megalorrhina) harrisi Westwood, 1847, but both De Palma & Frantz (2010) and Beinhundner (2014b, 2017a) regard it as a valid taxon. The larva of the third instar of nominal subspecies was described by Šípek (2005). Ecological data were provided by De Palma & Frantz (2010).
