Taurhina (Rhamphorrhina) splendens
Description
Taurhina (Rhamphorrhina) splendens (Bertoloni, 1855)
(Fig. 25c)
Distribution: ANG, MAW, MOZ, RSA, ZIM.
Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 1) ZAI.
Historic records:
— Angola (without locality) (Paulino de Oliveira 1882 sub Cerathorrhina petersiana Klug).
Material examined: Angola, 1♀, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 38 (white label), old collection, box nº IX-78, MZUC.
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).
