Chondrorrhina (Plaesiorrhinella) cinctuta recurva (Fabricius, 1801)

( Fig. 19h )

Distribution: ANG (?), CAM, GBI, GHA, GUI, RCI, TOG.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1)?

Historic records:

— Angola (without locality) ( Ferreira 1965 sub Plaesiorrhina recurva F.).

Material examined: none.

Remarks. Another controversial taxon, sometimes treated as a valid species ( Krajcik, 2008a), or as a subspecies of C. (P.) cinctuta (e.g. Allard 1991; Camiade 2015; Beinhundner 2017a).Taking into account its known distribution ( Allard 1991; Beinhundner 2017a; Schoolmeesters 2018), the Angolan record ( Ferreira 1965) should be considered with some caution. We confirm the species record for Guinea–Bissau given by Brivio (1958) with the capture of a specimen in that country also [Mampatá-Guilegue (TOMBALI), 3.VII.1995, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano leg., ASC] ( Fig. 19h ).
