* Discopeltis tricolor tricolor Burmeister, 1842
(Figs. 9b, c)
Distribution: ANG, BOW, MOZ, RSA, ZAM, ZIM.
Distribution in Angola (Provinces): 2)?
Historic records: None.
Material examined: Angola, 1 ex., Nº 1907 and 181, old collection, box nº XIV-83, MZUC.
Remarks. There are four subspecies recognized in this species (Holm 1991c). An adult specimen (Figs. 9b, c) deposited in the “old collection” of Angola of MZUC fits well this species. There is another specimen (female) housed in the “old collection” of Angola of MZUC [Angola, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 204 (white label), box nº IX- 78] very similar to this species, but with slight differences on the conformation of pronotum and its colour. Whithout a male specimen it is difficult to confirm the species identity (R. Perissinotto and S. Rojkoff, personal communications). Ecological data are available in Holm (1991a) and Holm & Marais (1992). It is a new species record for Angola.
