Tmesorrhina viridicyanea Moser 1902

Description

* Tmesorrhina viridicyanea Moser, 1902

(Fig. 26e)

Distribution: ANG, BOW, RSA, MAW, TAN.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2) BIE.

Historic records: none.

Material examined: Mumbué (Cuanza riverhead) (13º 49´41´´ S, 17º 19´26´´ E, 1511 m alt., 303) (BIE), 8- 17.XI.2015, 1♀, CT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC; Chingueia-Mandongue (13º 35´46´´ S, 16º 58´59´´ E, 1648 m alt., 301) (BIE), 9.XI.2015, 1♀, BT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC.

Remarks. A polychromatic species. The two adult specimens from Bié were collected by BT and CT (e.g. Figs 1a, b) in open secondary forests together with C. picturata. Despite the specimens fit well the species description, it is with some caution that we ascribe them to this taxon, as both are females. It is a new record for Angola and the Bié Province.
