Remarks. Some adult specimens collected in Luanda like the ones deposited in MZUC fit very well the habitus (e.g. Figs. 6b, c) of the nominal species (see p. 221 in Beinhundner 2017a) and others (e.g. Fig. 6d) the habitus of P. sinuata machadoi Ruter (in Rigout 1982) (see also Beinhundner 2017a, figs 1–5, p. 224). However, all present the underside yellow, a character associated to P. sinuata flaviventris . The larva has been described by Donaldson (1987). Biological and ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992). A basic guideline to captive breeding was also provided by Malec & Šípek (2016) for the nominal species. It is a new species record for the Luanda and Moxico Provinces.
