Remarks. The species was originally described from Angola based on a specimen collected by Welwitsch among a dozen taken in a cluster on a flower (Janson 1877a). Eight subspecies are recognized in this species (Beinhundner 2017a). Antoine (1996b) and Oram (2015) gave some morphological details of head and parameres of this species. Single male of Mumbué (Fig. 20g) was collected by means of CT (e.g. Fig. 1b) in an open secondary forest together with A. picturata. Some ecological data are provided by Holm & Marais (1992). It is a new species record for the Bié Province.
