Remarks. Three subspecies are recognized in this taxon. Our specimens from Mumbué region fit very well the description and the parameres given by Holm (1993a) and Antoine (2000) for this species ( Figs. 17c, d View FIGURE 17 ). The habitus is similar to the ones given in figures 21–25 of Beinhundner (2017a, p. 740). Holm (1993a) considered the species as a subspecies of A. flavomaculata , but Antoine (2000) elevated it to the species level rank, a criterion followed here. The adult specimens were collected by BT and CT in secondary open forests together with Cyprolais loricata (Janson, 1877) (Cuanza riverhead). See also the remarks under Anisorrhina ( Anisorrhina) flavomaculata . It is a new species record for Angola and the Bié Province.
