Pachnoda bukobensis Moser 1914

Description

* Pachnoda bukobensis Moser, 1914

(Figs. 3h, i)

Distribution: ANG, DOC, UGA, ZIM.

Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2)?

Historic records: none

Material examined: Angola, 1 ♂, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 118 (white label), old collection, box nº XIV-83, MZUC.

Remarks. The species was originally described from Bukoba (northeastern Tanzania) (Moser 1914a, Beinhundner 2017a). It is very similar with Pachnoda rubrocincta (Hope, 1847), but both taxa are easily segregated by morphological features (Moser 1914a, Ruter 1958) and parameres conformation (Rigout 1989). The male adult specimen of MZUC fits very well this species (Figs. 3h, i). Biological and ecological data are not available for this species. It is a new species record for Angola.
