Chondrorrhina Kraatz 1880
Description
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.
