* Caelorrhina relucens (Bates, 1881)
( Figs. 17h, i View FIGURE 17 , 18a View FIGURE 18 )
Distribution: ANG, KEN, MAW, MOZ, RSA, TAN, ZIM.
Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2)?
Historic records: none.
Material examined: Angola, 1 ♂, Nº 1907 (blue label), old collection, box nº IX-78, MZUC .
Remarks. The species is polychromatic presenting some body colour variations (see Beinhundner (2017a). The adult male specimen of MZUC ( Figs. 17h, i View FIGURE 17 , 18a View FIGURE 18 ) fits very well the description of this species (e.g. see Allard 1991 and Holm & Marais 1992). The specimen was probably collected by Anchieta or Welwitsch in the 19 th century, but unfortunately there is no information on the locality. Some ecological data for this species were provided by Holm & Marais (1992). It is a new species record for Angola.
