Remarks.
According to
Antoine (2006a)
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 (2006a) said:” On trouve en
Angola
diverses forms de transitions”. So, it is with some caution that we follow the
Antoine (2006a)
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
