1B3C87AA0002FFF6FF1DF9A7FB7DFD99.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species was originally described on the basis of one specimen from Angola (Harold 1879) and until now seems endemic of this country (Rojkoff & Perissinotto 2015). Unfortunately all the adult specimens deposited in MZUC do not present any indication on the localities where they were collected in Angola. Biological and ecological data are not available for the species. It is a new species record for the Huíla Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0005FFF6FF1DFA7EFDC6F945.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Paulino de Oliveira (1882) recorded the species for Angola without mention to any locality. Eventually, it could be confounded with the previous species. Ecological notes were provided by Holm & Marais (1992) and Rojkoff & Perissinoto (2015). Taking into account how it copes with artificial breeding conditions, Malec & Šípek (2017) included it in their group 1.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0005FFF6FF1DFD6BFD19FAF1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is only known from RSA (Rojkoff & Perissinoto 2015), but the adult specimens of MZUC fit very well its description (e. g. pygidium asetose with scattered crescent sculpture and first two elytral striae with single grooves). Unfortunately, both adult specimens do not present any indication on the locality (ies) where they were collected in Angola. Ecological notes were provided by Holm & Marais (1992) and Rojkoff & Perissinoto (2015). It is a new record for Angola.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0004FFF4FF1DF95EFB76FE86.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species was recorded for Angola by Paulino de Oliveira (1882), but not listed to this country in Ferreira’s catalogue (1965) nor in Beinhundner’s monograph (2017 a). This species is often confused with the next ones. The larvae instars were described by Donaldson (1987). Biological and ecological data on D. cincta were provided by Holm & Marais (1992). Taking into account the artificial breeding conditions, Malec & Šípek (2017) included this species in their group 4 (species requiring a special feeding substrate composition).	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0007FFF4FF1DFEB6FB74FCF9.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Marais & Holm (1992) and Krajcik (2008 a) consider this species under the genus Marmylida. Antoine (2004 a) included the species in the genus Dischista, a criterion followed here (see also Beinhundner 2017 a). The species was probably recorded for Angola before its description under the name of Cetonia rufa var. frenata Harold, 1879 (Lansberge 1886).

1B3C87AA0007FFF4FF1DFC77FEA6FADD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species was described on the basis of Kenya specimens sampled in Acacia trees from savannahs (Beinhundner 1998). The Humbe specimen fits very well the dorsal and ventral habitus of this species. Unfortunately, this singleton specimen is a female and very old (collected in the second half of the 19 th century), precluding a more accurate identification. Taking into account its distribution (only known from Kenya), it is with some caution that we ascribe this specimen to this species. However, this allopatric distribution (western vs eastern) seems more common than expected (e. g. Serrano 1995, Serrano et al. 2017). It is a new species record for Angola and Cunene Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

Beinhundner (2017 a) did not include Angola in its distribution. This species is easily differentiated by the parameres conformation, the pygidial spot and the mesometasternal process shape (see Holm & Marais 1992, p. 224 – 225). Biological and ecological data on D. rufa were provided by Holm & Marais (1992).

1B3C87AA0008FFFBFF1DFE6EFAC4FB4D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is known from Katanga Province in DOC (Rigout 1989; Sakai & Nagai 1998) and was given for the north-eastern LNO Province of Angola by Gomes Alves (1973) based on a determination of the same specimen by Ruter in 1968 (see Fig. 3 d). However, taking into account the elytral drawing pattern (Fig. 3 d) of the humeral region the specimen seems closer to one species within the group of Pachnoda viridiflua Kraatz, 1900, P. spinipennis Moser, 1914, P. allardi Ruter, 1969, P. dargei Rigout, 1987, P. knirschi Rigout, 1984 and P. pygidiomaculata Beinhundner, 2013. Nevertheless does not belong to P. spinipennis as the pygidium is dull and has six white spots behind the front edge and two near the apical edge (Moser 1914 b), nor to P. allardi do to its larger length (19 mm vs 15 – 15.5 mm), different pygidial colour pattern, among other characters, nor to P. knirschi by the presence of four white dots on the upper green-blackish part of pygidium (none in P. knirschi) (cf. Fig. 13 i vs PII Fig. 6 f in Beinhundner 2013), nor to P. dargei by the orange tibia (black in dargei) and a different pygidial pattern of white dots (cf. Fig. 3 f vs Fig. 4 f in Beinhundner 2013), nor even to P. pygidiomaculata by the absence of metasternum transverse white stripes and the presence of metatibial denticle (cf. Fig. 3 e vs Fig. 5 b in Beinhundner 2013). It could belong to P. viridiflua by the same general elytral colour pattern, the pygidium colour and the white spots pattern in the frontal half of this structure (e. g. see description of P. schultzei = P. viridiflua in Preiss 1933). However, without a male to check the genitalia it is with some caution and based again on the Ruter’s identification that we keep the species P. acutipennis for the Angolan fauna. Biological and ecological data are not available for this species.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA000FFFFCFF1DFF62FB54FD55.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is polytypic, but the number of valid subspecies remains controversial. Marais & Holm (1992), Krajcik (2008 a) and Schoolmeesters (2018) recognized five subspecies in Africa, including the nominal one. However, Beinhundner (2017 a) recognized also Pachnoda orphanula pseudomarginata Burgeon, 1932 as a good subspecies, which is considered a synonym of P. orphanula nachtigali by the former authors. The subspecies was recorded for northeastern Angola by Gomes Alves (1959). The adult male specimens of MZUC and MUHNAC fit well this species description, including the parameres conformation (Figs. 4 h, i, 5 a). The MUHNAC specimen was collected by light trapping. Biological and ecological data are not available for this subspecies.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

However, Ruter (1958) quotes with some doubt a female specimen of Angola deposited in “ Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle de Paris ” to this subspecies. The male specimen sampled in Carima (Fig. 5 d) fits very well the morphological description, including the parameres features (Fig. 5 e) indicated by Ruter (1958) (see also Rigout 1989). It was sampled by CT in an open secondary forest together with Chlorocala africana mutica (Harold, 1878), Chondrorrhina (Chondrorrhina) picturata (Harold, 1878) and Tmesorrhina tridens Duvier, 1891.

1B3C87AA000EFFC3FF1DFA36FC07FE2D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. A species described from Angola (Quedenfeldt 1884) and as far as we know only known from this country (Beinhundner 2017 a). Marais & Holm (1992) and Krajcik (2008 a) considered this species a synonym of P. discolor kolbei Schürhoff, 1938. However, both taxa are easily segregated by the parameres conformation (Rigout 1989). The male adult specimens of MUHNAC and Kakande fit well this species description, including the parameres (e. g. Fig. 5 i). The Kakande adult specimens were collected alive on the soil in a secondary open forest, being apparently anesthetized by the consumption of tree saps. Biological and ecological data are not available for this species. It is a new species record for the Bié and Huambo Provinces.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

Curiously, despite the records to Angola (see “ Historic records ”) the species is not referred for this country in the Ferreira’s catalogue (1965) and Beinhundner’s monograph (2017 a).

1B3C87AA0035FFC6FF1DFE6EFB23FC49.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is widely distributed throughout western and southwestern Africa (Gomes Alves 1959; Schoolmeesters 2018). Tchibozo et al. (2008) and Touroult & Le Gall (2013) provided biodiversity information (abundance, habitat preference) of this species for Benin. There is also a reference citing this species from a remnant moist Afromontane forest in Ethiopia (Kebede & Isotalo 2016). Pachnodella marginella was not referred for Angola in the Ferreira’s catalogue (1965). However, Gomes Alves (1959) provided some biological comments on this species for Guinea-Bissau and Angola. Larvae in the former country were found associated with Oryctes larvae in decaying trunks of Olaea palms. The species is considered a pest of citrus orchards in Ghana due to its economic impact (Aidoo et al. 2016). The third instar larva was described by Jerath & Unny (1965).	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0035FFC7FF1DFA52FEA6FF71.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Paulino de Oliveira (1882) registered Gametis aequinoctialis for Angola, but probably was a misinterpretation with P. balteata. The four specimens of Angola deposited in the “ old collection ” of MZUC belong to this species. The specimens present some variation in the general elytral drawing pattern colour, some looking Phonotaenia balteata zanzibarica (Raffray, 1877) or even Phonotaenia camiadei Antoine, 2005, with the pronotum always black with white lateral margins (Figs. 7 b – e). Unfortunately, the specimens are very old, precluding the extraction of the parameres. Ecological data are available in Holm & Marais (1992) and Malec & Šípek (2016). A basic guideline to captive breeding was provided by Malec & Šípek (2016). It is a new species record for the Luanda Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

Gomes Alves (1959) recorded this specimen for River Muka (Luanda Province), but it was an erroneous interpretation of the register book of IICT which gives the following information: “ Rio Muka (afluente do Luembe — Lunda NE) ” = [Muka River (tributary of Luembe — Lunda NE]. The true tributary of Luembe (River) is Muita River, not Muka River. Moreover, the reference to Lunda NE reinforces this interpretation. Some ecological remarks were provided for the subspecies Phonotaenia scalaris latefasciata Moser, 1910 in Sierra Leone by Malec (2015).	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA003BFFCEFF1DF933FE76FC9D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species was originally described on the basis of specimens from Angola (Harold 1879; Antoine 2000), but is also known from DOC (Beinhundner 2017 a). The adult specimens from Chianga were found on Pandiaka welwitschii (Amaranthaceae) and Monotes calomerus (label information). The adult specimen of Capin-gana – Satchijamba was captured on a yellow flower and the Carima adult specimens were sampled feeding on the basis of tomentose leafs of spontaneous herbaceous plants (Fig. 9 a), all from secondary open forests. In the latter locality (Fig. 10 a), the species was abundant and syntopic with Leucocelis (Leucocelis) haemorrhoidalis (Fabricius, 1775), Plagiochilus angustatus (Westwood, 1873) and Cymophorus sp.

1B3C87AA0020FFD3FF1DFE6EFE17FC49.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species was described originally from “ Congo ” (Kraatz 1883), but Beinhundner (2017 a) refers only Angola in its distribution. Bourgoin (1925) recorded the species in the “ Districts de Huilla et de Benguella: entre Kapelongo et le Poste militaire de la rivière Kubango ”. The « Kapelongo » locality belongs to the Huíla Province, rather far away of the Benguela Province. Unfortunately, the MZUC specimen (Fig. 10 g) is very old, precluding its dissection and it is with some caution that we ascribe it to this species. Biological and ecological data are not available for this species.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0022FFD1FF1DFF62FDB9FC6C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Taking into account its distribution near the borders of Angola, in NAB and BOW (see Fig. 142 i in Holm & Marais 1992), the Paulino de Oliveira’s record for the southern territory of Angola (Cunene Province) is very plausible. Moreover, we confirm its presence in Angola by checking three adult specimens deposited in the old collection of MZUC (Figs. 11 a, b, c). Antoine (2004 a), regarding the description of Mausoleopsis (Mausoleopsis) lerui Antoine, 2004, tried to clarify the distribution of the two subspecies of M. (M.) amabilis on the basis of the size, coalescence and / or number of pronotal and elytral white maculae. Even the description of M. (M.) amabilis ruteri Antoine, 1989 was based only on these maculae features, which seems a weak argument to validate this taxon without the support of other morphological character (s). Also, on the comment of its description, Antoine (1989 a) states “ sans différer autrement de la forme typique ”. On the other hand, the weakness of the separation of these two subspecific taxa is reinforced by the fact that there are sites where both forms overlap. The larva of this species was described by Donaldson (1987). Biological and ecological data are available in Holm & Marais (1992). Taking into account artificial breeding conditions, Malec & Šípek (2017) includes the species in their group 1. It is a new species record for the Lunda Sul Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0022FFD6FF1DF9A6FC19FF71.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The habitus and parameres conformation of the Angolan male adult specimen deposited in MZUC fit well some features of Oxythyrea (Oxythyrea) petit (Gory & Percheron, 1833) (e. g. cf. Antoine 1997, Fig. 27 with Fig. 11 f). However, taking into account the advised of S. Rojkoff (personal communication) for the possibility that the specimen should belong to a new species under description we do not ascribe its identification to that species. Once again, unfortunately we have no information on the localization in Angola of this specimen. Ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992) for the closer species Oxythyrea marginallis (Swartz, 1817) and Oxythyrea testaceogutttata (Blanchard, 1850).

1B3C87AA0027FFD4FF1DFAE2FB56F919.taxon	discussion	Remarks. A species within the C. glabratus group (sensu Schein 1954 a) like C. angolensis. Schein (1954 a) suggested that C. kolbei could be a junior synonym of C. parrianus Westwood, 1883, a proposal not followed in the catalogues of Marais & Holm (1992) and Krajcik (2008 a). Biological and ecological data are not available for the species, but see general comments in Schein (1954 a) and the remarks under the genus Coenochilus.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0027FFD5FF1DF916FCCEFE09.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species was described from Angola (Westwood 1883). It is considered a controversial species and an incertae sedis (Schein 1954 a). Schein (1954 a) in the “ general comments ” (“ I. Allgemeines ”) referred to Coenochilus parrianus based in Schenkling (1921) catalogue (“ parrianus Westwood Tijdschr. voor Ent. 26 Seite 65 Angola ”). Taking into account this reference, it seems that the species considered by Schein (1954 a) is indeed that which was described by Westwood (1883), i. e. Coenochilus parrianus from Angola. The same author stated also that the type of C. parrianus was unfortunately lost, concluding that “ The Parrianus not mentioned in the Junk Schenkling catalog should therefore remain omitted ” (“ Der im Junk-Schenkling-Katalog ausgelassene Parrianus muss also weiter im Dunklen bleiben ”). Biological and ecological data are not available, but see general comments in Schein (1954 a) and the remarks under the genus Coenochilus.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

The species reported for Angola by Gomes Alves (1959) under Coenochilus emarginatus Westwood, 1873 name should belong to Plagiochilus dupeyi (S. Rojkoff, personal communication). However, some features of this species do not conform to the IICT specimens [e. g. the posterior angles of the pronotum are largely round, not “ obtus mais à sommet vif ” (Bourgoin 1928)]. The dorsal view of the parameres of the Dundo male specimen (Fig. 26 c) fit well the figure given by Schein (1954 a, Fig. 43) for Coenochilus impressus (Moser, 1911), but not the lateral view (fig. 26 d). Schein (1954 a) postulated also that C. impressus could be synonym of Coenochilus emarginatus (“ Es wäre möglich, dass impressus identisch ist mit dem mir in natura unbekannten emarginatus Westwood 1873 ”), considering this species an incertae sedis. The adult specimens of IICT fit well the figure 1 (dorsal habitus) given by Westwood (1873) in plate XII for Coenochilus emarginatus, but without the study of the type of Westwood, it is impossible to confirm this identification. It is with some caution that we ascribe these two specimens to Plagiochilus dupeyi. Biological and ecological data are not available for the species, but see the general comments on the genus Coenochilus. It is a new species record for Angola and the Lunda Norte Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

Sakai & Nagai (1998) recorded the species for Cameroon and provided a photo of a specimen (Pl. 142, Fig. 32). However, considering the conformation of pronotum, it seems that the identification is incorrect. Our adult specimens fit very well the original description. While the Mumbué specimens were captured in rotten wood (e. g. Fig. 1 d) with Formicidae (not identified), Zygentoma (not identified) and the ant nest beetle Paussus (Crenatopaussus) scaliger Reichensperger, 1926, the Kibundi specimen was collectd by LT, all in secondary open forests. Basilewsky (1956) provided some ecological remarks on Lissogenius which are according with our observations. Biological data are not available.

[= Campsiura scutellaris (Gory & Percheron, 1833)] for Cabinda, but it surely corresponds to this species. The Calulo – Cabuta adult specimens were sampled by DO on the basis of flowers of small guavas trees (Psidium guajava) in a secondary moist forest. Biological data concerning the breeding association with elephant dung were provided by Legrand & Malec (2006) for some other species of Campsiura [e. g. Campsiura (Macroma) circe (Kolbe, 1914), Campsiura (Macroma) exclamationis (Kolbe, 1892), Campsiura (Macroma) lutescens (Westwood, 1874), Campsiura (Calocampsiura) trivittata (Moser, 1907)]. Predatory habits were assigned for Campsiura (Macroma) cognata (Schaum, 1841), which has been recorded feeding on scale insects (Holm & Perissinotto 2010). The description of larvae was also done, but only for C. trivittata by Lumaret & Cambefort (1985). It is a new record for the Huambo and Kwanza Sul Provinces.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA002CFFDDFF1DF9A7FB25FE2D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. According to Antoine (2006 a) this subspecies is segregated from the nominal one based only in the colour of clypeus and the width of the yellow pronotum bands. However, without any study on the stability of these characters throughout the distribution area of the species, it seems a weak argument to validate this taxon. Antoine himself (2006 a) said: ” On trouve en Angola diverses forms de transitions ”. So, it is with some caution that we follow the Antoine (2006 a) nomenclature. The record of M. confusa Schaum? [= Campsiura (Macroma) scutellaris (Gory & Percheron, 1833)] for Huilla by Paulino de Oliveira (1882) corresponds surely to this subspecies. Biological and ecological data are not available, but see remarks under C. angolensis angolensis.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0051FFA2FF1DFF62FB20FB05.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species was described originally from Angola (Harold 1878). The adults, like happens with other species of Oplostomus, are associated with bees, preying on broods (e. g. Oldroyd & Allsopp 2017). This behaviour is confirmed by the notes associated with the IICT adult specimens, refering that all were captured in beehives (see also Gomes Alves 1973, pp. 48 – 49). It is a new species record for the Benguela Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

The adults are associated with honey bees and paper wasps, while larvae and pupae live in dung (Péringuey 1907; Scholtz & Holm 1985; Oldroyd & Allsopp 2017). The larvae description and life cycle were provided by Donaldson (1989) and Oldroyd & Allsopp (2017). A review on several aspects of its biology was also provided by these authors.

The two Angolan villages closest to Kamapanda are Mambeca and Sabonete (about 22 km). We include provisionally Angola in its distribution based on the Rojkoff (2011 b) remark “ On peu donc parler d’une aire réelle à cheval sur les trois pays ”.

The adult specimem of MZUC and the adult female specimen of Trumba fit well the description of the species, presenting in each side of the pronotal disk one small smooth plate and the absence of posterior angles. However, the schematic outline of pronotum with the anterior angles obtuse (dorsal view) given by Rojkoff (2011 b, Fig. 6) does not conform with the same structure of our specimens (anterior angles acute, Fig. 14 i).

1B3C87AA0054FFA4FF1DF8A2FE9AFC49.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Two subspecies were recognized within D. gagates, the nominal and Diplognatha (Diplognatha) gagates silicea MacLeay, 1838 (Holm & Marais 1992; Beinhundner 2017 a). However, Basilewsky (1956) and Rigout & Allard (1992) considered these subspecies as species (a criterion followed here), stating that they differ by the number of mesotibial teeth (two vs. one) and other minor morphologic pronotal charaters (lateral punctuation and crenulation). These authors, Krajcik (2008 a) and Schoolmeesters (2018) considered also that Diplognatha (Diplognatha) gagates holosericea Bainbridge, 1842 is a subspecies within this taxon, but Holm (1990 b) synonymized it with Porphyronota cinnamomea (Afzelius, 1817). All the examined specimens exhibit two mesotibial teeth. Unfortunately, the studied adult specimens of MZUC do not present labels with the indication of the sampling localities. Comparing the available data for both species it seems that Diplognatha (Diplognatha) gagates occurs predominantly in the Northern Provinces of Angola and Diplognatha (Diplognatha) silicea in the central and southern-eastern Provinces. The larva (L 3) was described by Šípek (2005) and ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992).	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0057FFA5FF1DFBE6FAEFFD69.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Despite the species be known for Angola since a long time ago (e. g. Bourgoin 1925), both Beinhundner (2017 a) and Schoolmeesters (2018) do not consider its presence in that country. All the examined specimens fit the mesotibial character (only one tooth on the external margin) proper of this species (Rigout & Allard 1992). The adult specimens from Chianga were collected on bean plants (label information). The Mussende adult specimen was sampled by BT in a secondary moist forest together with Lophorrhina quinquelineata (Fabricius, 1791), Tmesorrhina laeta burgeoni Allard, 1991 and Myodermum alutaceum (Afzelius, 1817). The larva of this species was described by Oberholzer (1959). Ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992), but see Malec & Šípek (2016) for breeding habits also. It is a new record for the Bié, Huambo, Kwanza Sul, Lunda Sul and Moxico Provinces.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA005BFFA8FF1DFC76FEE3F944.taxon	discussion	Remarks. An endemic species of Angola whose original description was based on a male specimen, under the genus Ruteroides (Gomes Alves 1973). This author referred that the specimen was observed by Ruter, who postulated that probably it should belong to a new genus near Porphyronota. However, we conclude that Ruteroides is similar to Pseudinca (see comments on this genus). Pseudinca fradei new combination is close to Pseudinca rufulus Kolbe, 1914, Pseudinca variatus Bourgoin, 1921 and Pseudinca striatus Valck Lucassen, 1933, but can be segregated from them by some morphological characters such as clypeus without longitudinal ridge, the shape of clypeal anterior edge (slightly raised and straight) (Fig. 16 e), the discal punctuation of pronotum (distinct and sparse) (Fig. 16 e), the sutural round angle (not acute) of elytra (Fig. 16 d), the shape of mesosternal apophysis and the punctuation of abdominal segments (Fig. 16 f), among others. In Beinhundner’s monograph (2017 a: 594), the authorship of names Ruteroides and Ruteroides fradei is incorrect (Goméz Alvéz must be spelled as Gomes Alves). Moreover, in the same monograph (p. 594, lines 9 and 13), just before the Gomes Alves (1973) references and after the genus and the species “ Description ”, the names Myodermidius and Myodermidius rohani are given, respectively. However, both taxa are not mentioned anywhere in Gomes Alves (1973) work. Beinhundner (2017 a) indicates Republic Guinea for the distribution of this species, which is incorrect also. Biological and ecological data are not available for this species.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

Taking into account its occurrence near the southeastern border of Angola, it is not strange its presence in the southernmost territory of this country (Humbe). The species is replaced in Namibia by other species of the genus (Tetragonorrhina peringueyi Holm & Marais, 1992). Holm & Marais (1992) provided some ecological data for the species. It is a new genus / species record for Angola and the Cunene Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA005FFFACFF1DFE4FFD0BFC66.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Three subspecies are recognized in this taxon. Our specimens from Mumbué region fit very well the description and the parameres given by Holm (1993 a) and Antoine (2000) for this species (Figs. 17 c, d). The habitus is similar to the ones given in figures 21 – 25 of Beinhundner (2017 a, p. 740). Holm (1993 a) considered the species as a subspecies of A. flavomaculata, but Antoine (2000) elevated it to the species level rank, a criterion followed here. The adult specimens were collected by BT and CT in secondary open forests together with Cyprolais loricata (Janson, 1877) (Cuanza riverhead). See also the remarks under Anisorrhina (Anisorrhina) flavomaculata. It is a new species record for Angola and the Bié Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

Other records for Angola did not give exact locality (ies) (Gory & Percheron 1833; Krikken 1987). It could be misinterpreted with some other close species. Ecological data are available in Holm & Marais (1992) and Malec & Šípek (2016). A basic guideline to captive breeding was also provided by Malec & Šípek (2016, 2017).	en	Serrano, Artur R.

The male specimen of the MZUC specimen fits well this species description, despite the missing genitalia; the conformation of metafemora and the slight inner dilatation of metatibia support its identification. However, it is with some caution that we ascribe the identification to this species. Unfortunately, there is no information on the Angolan locality where it was collected. It is a new species record for Angola.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0042FFB1FF1DFB72FEB3F9F5.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This is an enigmatic taxon. We did not find any record in Marais & Holm (1992), Sakai & Nagai (1998), Krajcik (2008 a) or Beinhundner (2017 a). The subspecies was briefly described by Schauer (1941) in a key of the representatives of the genus Smaragdesthes. While Beinhundner (2017 a) 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.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0045FFB4FF1DFA9BFDD1FE09.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Beinhundner (2017 a) treated this species under the genus Chondrorrhina, recognising three subspecies. The species is very polychromatic (see figures in Beinhundner 2017 a). The specimens deposited in MZUC of the “ old collection ” of Angola are polychromatic also (Figs. 18 i, 19 a, b). All specimens fit very well with its description, including the parameres features (Figs. 19 d, e) (see Holm & Marais 1992; Holm 1994). The adult specimens of Mussende were collected by means of CT in a secondary moist forest. See also the remarks under Chlorocala inermis. The larvae of all instars of this species were described by Donaldson (1987). Biological and ecological data are provided by Holm & Marais (1992). It is a new species record for Angola and the Cabinda, Cunene, Huíla, Kwanza Norte and Kwanza Sul Provinces.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0047FFB4FF1DFE26FBFBFBFD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. A controversial polytypic species with several polychromatic forms (e. g. Allard 1991; Sakai & Nagai 1998; Krajcik 2008 a). Curiously, Krajcik (2008 a) recognize only the nominal form and one subspecies, but Beinhundner (2017 a) lists six subspecies. Holm & Marais (1992) in relation to this species and close congeners referred “ whether these are good species or a subspecies cline must still be resolved ”. The nominal C. (P.) cinctuta cinctuta seems to occur from Cameroon to Angola (Allard 1991; Le Gall 2015; Beinhundner 2017 a), but Schoolmeesters (2018) presents a quite different distribution (ERI, ETI, SEN, UGA). Two polychromatic forms of adult specimens from MZUC are given (Figs. 19 f, g). Ecological data are not available for this species.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0047FFB4FF1DFB72FEF1F9F2.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Another controversial taxon, sometimes treated as a valid species (Krajcik, 2008 a), or as a subspecies of C. (P.) cinctuta (e. g. Allard 1991; Camiade 2015; Beinhundner 2017 a). Taking into account its known distribution (Allard 1991; Beinhundner 2017 a; Schoolmeesters 2018), the Angolan record (Ferreira 1965) should be considered with some caution. We confirm the species record for Guinea – Bissau given by Brivio (1958) with the capture of a specimen in that country also [Mampatá-Guilegue (TOMBALI), 3. VII. 1995, 1 ♀, DO, A.

Taking into account its distribution (Allard 1991; Holm & Marais 1992), the Angolan record (Ferreira 1965) should be considered with some caution. However, we checked one adult specimen from Angola deposited in the old collection of MZUC which can be ascribed to this species (Fig. 19 i). Biological and ecological data were provided by Donaldson (1987), Donaldson & van Todner (1992) and Holm & Marais (1992).

1B3C87AA004BFFB8FF1DFD4EFEA6FAA9.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is known as the flamboyant flower beetle or striped love beetle. According to De Palma (2009), many of the “ old ” subspecies (e. g. see Allard 1985) are simple colour varieties, having overlaped distributions. Unfortunately, the Historic records for Angola do not provided precise localities of this species. Its biology and ecology is presumably similar to other Eudicella species. It is a new species record for the Kwanza Norte Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

Janson (1877 b) described the species based on specimens from “ Livingstonia, Lake Nyassa ”. The synonimization of G. cruda cruda with G. cruda var. major Kolbe, 1897 is probably erroneous (see Antoine 2002 a). The latter taxon was described on the basis of a misinterpreted G. cruda, but similar to G. cruda leopoldi Bourgoin, 1929. The presence of G. cruda cruda in Angola must be considered with some caution (S. Rojkoff, personal communication) (but see remarks under next taxa). Ecological data are not available for this species.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA004FFFBCFF1DFE26FDC7FB05.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The status of this taxon is very controversial. Its validity was established by Antoine (2002 a), a criterion followed by Beinhundner (2017 a). However, Krajcik (2008 a) as well as Schoolmeesters (2018) keep it as a synonym of G. lurida Janson, 1877 [the name lucida used by Krajcik (2008 a) is a misspelling of lurida, since Janson (1877 b) did not describe any taxon named lucida]. Gnathocera cruda gracilis was described based on one specimen from Angola, but Janson (1877 b) referred that “ there are also specimens in Mr. Higgins’s collection found by Monteiro, at Bembe ”, a municipality within the Uíge Province. The adult specimens of IICT were collected by light (registered information) probably at the same time of G. trivittata ardoini (see remarks under this taxon). Ecological data are not available for this subspecies.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA004FFFBCFF1DFB2BFB56F945.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This subspecies of G. cruda was established by Antoinne (2002 a), but Krajcik (2008 a) and Beinhundner (2017 a) raised it to the species level without any explanation. Its presence in Angola is suggested by Antoine (2002 a) based on Ruter’s notes under the invalid name G. cruda machadoi, a form never described by Ruter (see Allard 1991), which fits very well the description of G. cruda leopoldi (Antoine 2002 a). However, this author (Antoine 2002 a) studied many specimens and segregated G. cruda gracilis and G. cruda leopoldi by its geographic distribution [the former in ANG, CON and DOC and the later in DOC (“ Haut Zaire et Shaba = Katanga)]. The MZUC specimens fit well the description of G. cruda leopoldi, but we can not precise their localization in Angola. Biological or ecological data are not available for this subspecies. It is a new subspecies record for Angola.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

The species was recorded by Gomes Alves (1959) under the subgenus Gnathocerida Péringuey, 1907 for LNO in Angola. According to Holm & Marais (1992) “ there are several Gnathocerida species ” which “ apparently differ only in details of colouration, and may turn out to form a subspecies cline [e. g. G. villosa (Janson); G. pubescens (Janson); G. marginata (Janson); G. bourgoini Burgeon; and G. overlaeti Burgeon] ”.

The species was described originally from “ Kapanga, Katanga (Zaïre) ” by Burgeon (1939), nowadays DOC, where it seems to be rare (Allard 1991). Like the precedent species it was recorded by Gomes Alves (1959) under the subgenus Gnathocerida Péringuey, 1907 for LNO Province also. Biological or ecological data are not available for this species.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA004EFF82FF1DFA0AFEE3FF71.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species was described for Malimbe in West Africa without references to any particular country, but to von Mechow sendings (Gerstaecker 1883). Malimbe seems to be a village located in the Uíge Province of Angola. Gnathocera trivialis was considered a synonym of G. angolensis (Krajcik 2008 a; Schoolmeesters 2018), but Marais & Holm (1992) and more recently Beinhundner (2017 a) recognized it as a valid species. The presence of adult specimens of G. angolensis and of G. trivialis in the same date and site in Muita (syntopic) justify the species status of the latter taxon (see also the remarks under G. angolensis). Biological or ecological data are not available for this species.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

A subspecies with the same distribution as the precedent subspecies (Allard 1991), which put the question if they are not only colour forms without taxonomic value. Allard (1991) considered both subspecies synonyms. As the species G. trivittata is very much variable it is necessary to define geographically more properly both forms, a scope out of this work. Biological or ecological data are not available for this subspecies. It is a new subspecies record for Kwanza Sul Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0071FF82FF1DFA36FA91F831.taxon	discussion	Remarks. A polymorphic species with many subspecies (12 to 16, e. g. Allard 1991; Krajcik 2008 a; Beinhundner 2017 a) distributed throughout western and eastern Africa since Senegal – Sudan – Egypt to the Republic of South Africa (Allard 1991; Krajcik 2008 a; Rohwedder 2011; Beinhundner 2017 a). The distribution of the nominal subspecies makes implausible its presence in Angola. Probably, the Humbe specimen (s) belong to another subspecies (e. g. see remarks under Gnathocera trivittata dorsodiscolor). The larva of the third instar was described by Jerath & Unny (1965). Holm & Marais (1992) provided some ecological data on G. trivittata costata Ancey, 1883.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

Beinhundner (2015) listed all the Lophorrhina species with its general distribution, recording L. quinquelineata for Angola, but without any precise locality or reference. Paulino de Oliveira (1882) eventually misinterpreted L. penthacordia with C. quinquelineata. This species is very abundant in Calulo region (see material examined) and adult specimens were sampled by means of BT and CT (e. g. Figs. 1 a, b) in secondary moist forest (e. g. Fig. 1 f). See also the remarks under Diplognatha silicea, Chlorocala africana mutica and C. inermis. Tchibozo et al. (2008), Touroult & Le Gall (2013) and Joly (2018) provided biodiversity information (abundance, habitat preference) of this species for Benin and Ghana, respectively. Without any accurate published locality information in Angola, we consider that it is a new species record for this country and to the Kwanza Sul Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0075FF86FF1DFBE6FB4FFA39.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is polytypic with two to four subspecies recognized, depending of the authors (see Marais & Holm 1992; Krajcik 2008 a; Beinhundner 2017 a; Schoolmeesters 2018). It was recorded for CAB, the northernmost Province of Angola (Paulino de Oliveira 1882). This species has been used in insect flight studies like remote radio control or the role of the stretched forelegs in flight (Sato et al. 2009; Li et al. (2017).	en	Serrano, Artur R.

This subspecies was originally described from Angola, but curiously Beinhundner (2014 b, 2017 a) does not include Angola in its distribution. Krajcik (2008 a) treated it as a synonym of Mecynorhina (Megalorrhina) harrisi Westwood, 1847, but both De Palma & Frantz (2010) and Beinhundner (2014 b, 2017 a) regard it as a valid taxon.

The adult specimens of Calulo (Figs. 25 h, i, 26 a) fit very well the mesosternal process and parameres conformations of this subspecies (Figs. 7, 8 in Antoine 2002 a). Tmesorrhina laeta burgeoni presents coloration darker than the nominal subspecies. The adult specimens could be ascribed to T. garnieri Allard, 1993, but the parameres are slightly different. Moreover, Calulo specimens present the elytra almost smooth, not deeply striated punctuated as in the latter species (Allard 1993). The adult specimens were sampled by means of BT and CT within secondary moist forest. See also the remarks under Chlorocala africana mutica.

1B3C87AA007CFF8FFF1DFBBAFCC1F9D1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species was recorded for Angola (Paulino de Oliveira 1882) based on specimen (s) deposited in the old entomological collections of the “ Museu e Laboratório de Zoologia e Antropologia (Museu Bocage) ”, Lisboa. The two adult specimens from Cabinda in MUHNAC confirm its presence in Angola. The larva was described by Vendl & Šípek (2016). Biological and ecological notes on this species are summarized in Wiebes (1968). De Palma et al. (2020) ranked subspecifically Goliathus meleagris Sjöstedt, 1927 under G. goliathus, referring that this new subspecies occurs in the Miombo woodlands of southern D. R. of Congo, and neighbouring areas of Angola (northeast) and Zambia. However, in this work they do not studied any Angolan specimen, as well as they did not indicate any locality where the subspecies was found in Angola.	en	Serrano, Artur R.

1B3C87AA0062FF91FF1DFC4BFBF9F989.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is widespread throughout West and Southwest Africa (Schoolmeesters 2018). The Mussende adult specimens were collected by BT and CT (e. g. Figs. 1 a, b) in a fragment of moist secondary forest. See also the remarks under Diplognatha silicea and Chlorocala inermis. Burgeon (1946) captured the species frequently at Kindu in the flowers of a Zingiberaceae. Joly (2018) provided biodiversity information (abundance, habitat preference) of this species for Ghana. The species like others of this genus seems to be crepuscular or even nocturnal (e. g. Ricchiardi & Gyll 2009). It is a new species record for the Kwanza Sul Province.	en	Serrano, Artur R.
