Genus Taurhina Burmeister, 1842

The genus was revised together with related genera (e.g. Eudicella , Cyprolais , Mecynorrhina , Amaurodes ) by Holm (1993b). Taurhina , as defined by this author, includes three subgenera (Neptunides Thomson, 1878, Rhamphorrhina Klug, 1855 and Taurhina ). These taxa sometimes are treated at the subgenus level as was established by Holm (1993b) (e.g. Antoine & Minetti 2005; Beinhundner 2017a) or at the genus level (e.g. Krajcik 2008a). Here we follow the former criterion. Two species were previously recorded for Angola ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882; Ferreira 1965). A new species record is given in this work.
