- Tmesorrhina iris saundersi Westwood, 1854 (Fig. 25g) Distribution: ANG, CAM, CON, DOC, RCI, UGA. Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) ZAI; 2) MAL. Historic records: —S. Salvador (= M’banza-Kongo) (ZAI) (Burgeon 1944). Material examined: Kibundi (08o 54 ́33.31 ́ ́ S, 16o 03 ́15.71 ́ ́ E, 1170m alt., 95) (MAL), 19.XI.2017, 1♀, DO, A. Serrano leg., ASC. Remarks. Burgeon (1944) recorded the subspecies for S. Salvador, nowadays M’banza Congo (also spelled Mbanza Congo, M’banza Kongo, or Mbanza Kongo), a city located in northwestern Angola, based on material deposited in the actual “Muséum des sciences naturelles de Belgique ”. The nominal subspecies could be misinterpreted with this subspecies. The Kibundi adult specimen was captured by DO on a white flower of a tree in an open secondary forest. It is a new subspecies record for the Malanje Province.
