Genus Polystalactica Kraatz, 1882

There are three subgenera recognized in the genus, including the nominal one (Beinhundner 2017a). A synopsis of the African species was done by Beinhundner (2001). Holm &Marais (1992) and later Antoine (2002b) revised the subgenus Leptothyrea Kraatz, 1882 . Antoine (2010) relegated the genus Trichocelis Moser, 1908 to the level of subgenus of Polystalactica . Later, Rojkoff (2016b) reviewed this subgenus. There are two species recorded previously for Angola, all in the nominal subgenus (Beinhundner 2017a). A new species record in the subgenus Trichocelis is reported to the Angolan entomofauna in this work.
