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.
