Trogodes (Trogodes) congoensis Rojkoff, 2011

Distribution: ANG, DOC, ZAM.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) MOX.

Historic records:

— Angola (MOX, without locality) ( Rojkoff 2011b).

Material examined: none.

Remarks. According to Rojkoff (2011b) the known distribution of this species straddles the D. R. Congo and the extreme northwestern Zambia near the Angola border. One female of the typical series was got in Kamapanda in Zambia, a locality eight km far away of the Moxico Province border ( Angola). The two Angolan villages closest to Kamapanda are Mambeca and Sabonete (about 22km). We include provisionally Angola in its distribution based on the Rojkoff (2011b) remark “On peu donc parler d’une aire réelle à cheval sur les trois pays”. Biological and ecological data are not available for the species, but see general comments on the genus Coenochilus .
