Material examined: Angola, 1 ex., No 1907 (blue label), old collection, box no XIV-83, MZUC; Angola, 1 ex., No 1907 (blue label), Welwitch leg., sub Myoderma alutacea Afzel, old collection, box no VI-75, MZUC; Mussende (Calulo) (9o 57 ́00 ́ ́ S, 14o 47 ́36 ́ ́ E, 905 m alt., 128) (CUS), 30.XI.2015, 1♂, BT, 28.XI–5.XII.2015, 2♂, CT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC. Remarks. The species is widespread throughout West and Southwest Africa (Schoolmeesters 2018). The Mussende adult specimens were collected by BT and CT (e.g. Figs. 1a, b) in a fragment of moist secondary forest. See also the remarks under Diplognatha silicea and Chlorocala inermis. Burgeon (1946) captured the species frequently at Kindu in the flowers of a Zingiberaceae. Joly (2018) provided biodiversity information (abundance, habitat preference) of this species for Ghana. The species like others of this genus seems to be crepuscular or even nocturnal (e.g. Ricchiardi & Gyll 2009). It is a new species record for the Kwanza Sul Province.
