Material examined: Angola, 1♂, Nº 1907 (blue label), nº 151a (white label), old collection, box nº IX-78, MZUC; Huambo (12º 46´S, 15º 44´E, 1650 m alt., 256) (HUA), Nº 1987 (blue label), nº 72f (white label, red numbers), J.

Remarks. Little is known about the biology and ecology of this species, but probably like the precedent species the adults are associated with bees and paper wasps, feeding on pollen and broods. For instance, Gomes Alves (1973) referred that the Silva Porto (=Cuito) specimens were collected in a honey bee hive. It seems a common species in Angola. It is a new species record for the Huambo Province.
