1 ♀
, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 157 (white label), old collection, box nº XIV-83, MZUC
.
Remarks.
The adult specimens of MZUC fit very well this species (
e.g.
all costae are very discernible and well marked cretaceous spots on elytra are present) (
Figs. 16i
,
17a
). 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
.
