Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) BIE , CCU , HUA , HUI. Historic records: — Bihe (= Bié ) (without locality) ( BIE ), Huilla (= Huíla ) (without locality) ( HUI ) ( Arrow 1906 sub Sisyraphora cicatricosa Burmeister ) ; —Sangueve (HUI), Bié (without locality) ( BIE ) ( Valck Lucassen 1936 and Ferreira 1965 sub Sisyraphora angolensis Valck Lucassen ); — Nova Lisboa (= Huambo ) ( HUA ), Chianga ( HUA ), Ganga ( CCU ), Bié (without locality) ( BIE ) (Holm 1988) ; — Angola (without locality) ( Beinhundner 1999 ).

Material examined: Angola , 2 exs, Nº 1907 (blue labels), nº 173 (white labels), old collection, box nº XIV-83, MZUC; Chianga ( 12º 44´S , 15º 50´E , 1740 m alt., 256) ( HUA ), 16.I.1964 , 1 ex. , Nº E.3823, nº 615, E. Fonseca leg., JPCC, MUHNAC . Remarks. This subspecies was treated as a variety of Xeloma tomentosa tomentosa (Gory & Percheron, 1832) by Beinhundner (2017a) , a designation without taxonomic value. Xeloma tomentosa angolensis presents the white tomentose spots in elytra much smaller and evenly scattered than in the nominal form (Holm 1988). The Chianga specimen was sampled on a shrub (label information). Biological and ecological notes are available in Holm & Marais (1992) for the typical species.
