Remarks. An Angolan endemic species described based on one male and one female specimens from Caconda ( Schürhoff 1942). Allard (1991) considered this taxon as a subspecies of Caelorrhina barthi , a criterion not followed by Krajcik (2008a) (but see New localities reported). No ecological data are available for this species. It is a new record for the Huíla Province.
