Treatment

Distribution: ANG, NAB.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) BIE, HUA, HUI.

Historic records:

—Huilla (= Huíla) (HUI) ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882 sub Macroma confusa Schaum ?);

— Angola (without locality) ( Moser 1913b and Ferreira 1965 sub Macroma latevittata Moser );

— Caconda ( HUA), Bihe (= Bié) (BIE) ( Antoine 2006a) .

New localities reported: Cacula (20 km NW) (coord. not available,? alt., 317) ( HUI), 15.XI.2013, 2 ♂, P. Schüle leg., PMC (P. Malec, personal communication) .

Material examined: none.

Remarks. According to Antoine (2006a) this subspecies is segregated from the nominal one based only in the colour of clypeus and the width of the yellow pronotum bands. However, without any study on the stability of these characters throughout the distribution area of the species, it seems a weak argument to validate this taxon. Antoine himself (2006a) said:” On trouve en Angola diverses forms de transitions”. So, it is with some caution that we follow the Antoine (2006a) nomenclature. The record of M. confusa Schaum ? [= Campsiura (Macroma) scutellaris ( Gory & Percheron, 1833) ] for Huilla by Paulino de Oliveira (1882) corresponds surely to this subspecies. Biological and ecological data are not available, but see remarks under C. angolensis angolensis .
