* Caelorrhina concolor Hope, 1841

( Figs. 17f, g )

Distribution: ANG, RCI, SLN.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2)?

Historic records: none.

Material examined: Angola, 1 ♂, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 58 (white label), old collection, box nº IX-78, MZUC .

Remarks. The male specimen of the MZUC specimen fits well this species description, despite the missing genitalia; the conformation of metafemora and the slight inner dilatation of metatibia support its identification. However, it is with some caution that we ascribe the identification to this species. Unfortunately, there is no information on the Angolan locality where it was collected. It is a new species record for Angola.
