Chondrorrhina Kraatz, 1880

Genus Chondrorrhina Kraatz, 1880

This is a controversial taxon. The genus was treated as a subgenus of Plaesiorrhinella Krikken by Holm & Marais (1992). Later, Holm (1994) ranked Chondrorrhina as a subgenus under Pedinorrhina Kraatz, 1880 . Antoine (2008) ranked the taxon to the genus level with two subgenera ( Chondrorrhina and Plaesiorrhinella). Plaesiorrhinella was revised by Holm (1994) who synonymized it with Pedinorrhina [see also remarks in Holm & Sttobia (1995)], but Antoine (2008) reestablished it again as a subgenus under the genus Chondrorrhina , a criterion followed also by Beinhundner (2017a) (see also the comments on Pedinorrhina in this work). However, Krajcik (2008a) treated this taxon at the genus level. The genus Dyspilophora Kraatz, 1880 , as well as Taeniesthes Kraatz, 1880 , was synonymized with Chondrorrhina ( Holm 1994) . However, the ranking of this taxon remains controversial ( e.g. Krajcik 2008a; Camiade 2015) and in need of revision, jointly with subgeneric taxa ( e.g. Krajcik 2008a). Here we follow Beinhundner (2017a) criterion. This author recognized eleven species in this taxon. More two species were added recently ( Garnier et al. 2018). There are five species/subspecies recorded for Angola previously ( Paulino de Oliveira 1882; Ferreira 1965) and we provide a new species record for the country.
