—Quango (=Cuango) (LNO) ( Quedenfeldt 1884).

Remarks. The species is polytypic with four recognized subspecies ( Schein 1954b; Holm & Marais 1992; Krajcik 2008a). The nominal subspecies is distributed in West Africa ( Schein 1954b) and the Quedenfeldt (1884) record for Angola could be a misidentification of one of the other known subspecies which have a more southern distribution [ Cymophorus (Eucymophorus) spiniventris quadrimaculatus Raffray, 1899 or Cymophorus (Eucymophorus) spiniventris rubronotatus Péringuey, 1885 ]. Biological and ecological data are not available for the species, but see general comments in Schein (1954b) and the remarks under the genus Coenochilus .
