Genus Anelaphinis Kolbe, 1912

The genus was revised recently by Rojkoff & Perissinotto (2015). These authors recognized seven valid species, one of them described from Angola ( Harold 1879).

Anelaphinis dominula ( Harold, 1879)

( Fig. 2a )

Distribution: ANG.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) MAL; 2) HUI.

Historic records:

—Pungo Andongo (MAL) ( Harold 1879 sub Cetonia dominula Harold );

— Angola (without locality) ( Ferreira 1965).

New localities reported: Estação Zootécnica da Humpata (18 km W Lubango) (14º 54´42.8´´ S, 13º 19´25.9´´E, 2073 m alt., 355) ( HUI), 3.XII.2017, 1♀, P. Schüle leg., PMC (P. Malec, personal communication) .

Material examined: Angola, 1 ex., Nº 1907 (blue label), Welwitsch leg., old collection, box nº VI-75 ; Angola, 1 ex., Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 222 (white label), old collection, box XIV-83, MZUC ; Angola, 3 exs, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 223 (white label), old collection, box XIV-83, MZUC; Angola, 2 exs, Nº 1907 (blue labels), nºs 147 and 148 (white labels), old collection, box nº XIV-83, MZUC; Angola, 1 ex., Nº 1907 (blue label), old collection, box XIV-83, MZUC .

Remarks. The species was originally described on the basis of one specimen from Angola ( Harold 1879) and until now seems endemic of this country ( Rojkoff & Perissinotto 2015). Unfortunately all the adult specimens deposited in MZUC do not present any indication on the localities where they were collected in Angola. Biological and ecological data are not available for the species. It is a new species record for the Huíla Province.
