Remarks. De Palma (2009) studied material from Tunda do Bieli Cutato, which seems a locality near Cuchi in Cuando Cubango Province. Single female of Londuimbali–Tinguita was captured flying in an open secondary forest. Taking into account the artificial breeding conditions, Malec & Šípek (2017) included the subspecies E. tetraspilota euthalia (Bates, 1881) in their group 1. The species is newly recorded for the Huambo and Moxico Provinces.
