Ecology — In xerophilous forest.
Distribution — Endemic to north-east Angola. – LS: Gossweiler 11755 (COI).
Conservation status — Monotes xasenguensis is known from a single collection. As no other collection events are known for that locality, the species should be considered as Data Deficient with insufficient information (DD 3).
Note — This species is known only from the type collection. Nevertheless, the separation from the nearest species, M. glaber , seems to be effective and the species must be maintained.
