Material examined: Angola, 1 ex., Nº 1975 (blue label), nº 209 (white label), RQC/CSFC, box nº II-71, MZUC; Angola, 4 exs, Nº 1907 (blue labels), nº 221 (white labels), old collection, box nº XIV-83, MZUC, sub Diplognatha hebrae Oliv. (white label marginated by black line); Chianga (12º 44´S, 15º 50´E, 1740 m alt., 256) (HUA), 27.XI.1965, 1 ex., M. de Fátima leg., Nº E.7169, nº 616, 16.X.1967, 1 ex., on Ficus sp., H. Cardoso leg., Nº E.9937, nº 617, JPCC, MUHNAC; Ciclotroco (Nova Lisboa = Huambo) (coord. not available, 256) (HUA), 15.XII.1974, 1ex., DO, A. Serrano leg., ASC.
Remarks. Beinhundner (2017a) does not record the species for Angola, despite several citations since a long time ago (e.g. Quedenfeldt 1884; Holm 1990b, Fig. 68; Holm & Marais 1992, Fig. 73f). However, the reference to this species by Gomes Alves (1959) and Ferreira (1965) is erroneous (see P. cinnamomea angolensis remarks). The Chianga adult specimens were collected on Ficus sp. (label information). The larva was described by Donaldson (1987) and biological and ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992). It is a new species record for the Huambo Province.
