Remarks. Four subspecies are recognized by Beinhundner (2017a). By the recorded locality, it seems to occur in the most southern territory of Angola. The larva of the third instar was described by Carl & Kühbander (1993). Biological and ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992). Taking into account artificial breeding conditions, Malec & Šípek (2017) included this species in their group 1.
