Material examined: Angola, 2 exs, No 1907 (blue labels), no 173 (white labels), old collection, box no XIV-83, MZUC; Chianga (12o 44 ́S, 15o 50 ́E, 1740 m alt., 256) (HUA), 16.I.1964, 1 ex., No E.3823, no 615, E. Fonseca leg., JPCC, MUHNAC. Remarks. This subspecies was treated as a variety of Xeloma tomentosa tomentosa (Gory & Percheron, 1832) by Beinhundner (2017a), a designation without taxonomic value. Xeloma tomentosa angolensis presents the white tomentose spots in elytra much smaller and evenly scattered than in the nominal form (Holm 1988). The Chianga specimen was sampled on a shrub (label information). Biological and ecological notes are available in Holm & Marais (1992) for the typical species.
