Remarks. Antoine (2002a) treated this taxon as a subspecies of G. cruda while Krajcik (2008a), Beinhundner (2017a) and Schoolmeesters (2018) elevated it to the species level, recognising three subspecies. Gnathocera lurida was described originally from Angola based in specimens of “Dr. Welwitsch who found it in considerable numbers” Janson (1877b). Gomes Alves (1959) recorded the subspecies for Angola (Dundo) based on specimens of G. cruda gracilis (see Historic records under this subspecies). Biological or ecological data are not available for this species.
