Historic records:

—Dundo (LNO) ( Gomes Alves 1959 and Ferreira 1965 sub Pachnoda tridentata leopoldiana Burgeon ).

Material examined: Angola, 1 ♀, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 84 (white label), old collection, box nº XIV-83, MZUC; Dundo (7º 22´S, 20º 50´E, 1470 m alt., 51) ( LNO), 2.V.1946 , 1♀, Nº 653, Junta de Investigações Coloniais (Entomologia), sub Pachnoda tridentata leopoldiana Burgeon (Ruter det.), IICT, MUHNAC .

Remarks. Another species described originally from DOC ( Burgeon 1931) and recorded later for ANG ( Gomes Alves 1959). However, Beinhundner (2017a) and Schoolmeesters (2018) did not report the species for Angola. The adult female specimen from Angola in MZUC ( Fig. 4e ) fits well this species description. Biological and ecological data are not available for this species.
