Serrano leg., ASC; Mutubanzamba (09º 47´20´´ S, 16º 30´55´´ E, 1136 m alt., 132) (MAL), 21.XI.2015, 1♂, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC; Carima (Cacuso–Pungandongo) (09º 35´00´´ S, 15º 42´01´´ E, 117 m alt., 130) (MAL), 20.XI.2017, 6♂, 21.XI.2017, 1♂, DO, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC.
Remarks. All the specimens fit well the description and parameres of this species (Holm & Marais 1992). The Huambo adult specimen was collected on a flower in a meadow. See the remarks under Amaurina spoliata for Carima locality (e.g. see Figs. 9a, 10a). The larvae instars were described by Donaldson (1987). Biological and ecological data were provided by Holm & Marais (1992) and Malec & Šípek (2016). Taking into account artificial breeding conditions, Malec & Šípek (2017) includes it in their group 1. It is a new species record for Angola and Huambo and Malanje Provinces.
