Remarks. A subspecies with a wide distribution (Ferreira 1965; Sakai & Nagai 1998; Beinhundner 2017a). Some adult specimens (Satchijamba, Carima, Pungo Andongo and Calulo) were collected by CT (e.g. Fig. 1b). See remarks under Pachnoda discolour kolbei and Pachnoda rubriventris rubrocinctoides, respectively for Satchijamba and Carima localities. In Calulo, the adults were sampled in a secondary moist forest together with Lophorrhina quinquelineata (Fabricius, 1781) and Tmesorrhina laeta burgeoni Allard, 1991. Ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992) for C. africana subsuturalis. It is a new species record for the Bié, Huíla, Kwanza Sul and Malanje Provinces.
