discussion
Remarks. A species well recognized by the shape of the male clypeus. We checked one female specimen from Angola deposited in the old collection of MZUC which seems to be the same adult specimen studied by Paulino de Oliveira (1882) and fits well this species description. Ecological data for this species were provided by Holm & Marais (1992).
