Description

Material examined. Chitembo (18 km SE) (13° 36´17.53´´ S, 16° 54´00.44´´ E, 1538 m alt., 302) (BIÉ), 1.IV.2014, 1♂, LT, A. Serrano & R. Capela leg., ASC.

Remarks. A species with a scattered distribution throughout western, central, southern and eastern Africa (Guinea, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, D. R. of the Congo, South Africa R., Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya) (Basilewsky 1960b, Insectoid.info 2017). The single male was collected by light trapping within an open secondary forest together with P. pseudocrenulatus. It is a new species record for Angola. Dendrocellus Schmidt-Göbel, 1846

A genus considered a synonymous of Desera Dejean 1825 by Lorenz (2005). However, it was reestablished before as a valid genus by Liang et al. (2004). There are three species known from Angola (Liang & Kavanaugh 2007, Serrano 2008‒2009).
