Remarks. The species was recorded for Angola by Paulino de Oliveira (1882), but not listed to this country in
Ferreira’s catalogue (1965) nor in Beinhundner’s monograph (2017a). This species is often confused with the next ones. The larvae instars were described by Donaldson (1987). Biological and ecological data on D. cincta were provided by Holm & Marais (1992). Taking into account the artificial breeding conditions, Malec & Šípek (2017) included this species in their group 4 (species requiring a special feeding substrate composition).
